Ugly pants...
A skinny Japanese chap doing Tai Chi in his ugly pants...then, a bout of sadistic sex until he gets his arm chopped off - that's the first 5 minutes...it doesn't get any better.
Sato obviously likes Pasolini - in fact, after watching this film, you could easily imagine Pasolini to be the greatest director ever!
It really is that bad.
Total and absolute nonsense.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Ryuzaki, an editor of Muscle Magazine, which features photographs of men with sculpted bodies, becomes involved with a man named Kitami; their affair soon becomes dominated by sadomasochistic games, with a horrid result. Jump ahead one year, Ryuzaki is released from jail and goes in search of Kitami, perhaps to make amends. The films of Pasolini, especially "Salò," dominate Ryuzaki's imagination; he works sometimes at the Lunatic Theatre, which shows films about rough trade; and, he becomes involved with a couple into S & M. Will Ryuzaki find Kitami, and what will happen if he does?
