Flower & Snake
Directed by Takashi Ishii
Produced by Femme Fatale Pictures, Toei Video Company
A dark, exploitative descent into sexual degradation and loss of agency, framed as erotic thriller but fundamentally a study of humiliation and entrapment.
The wealthy president of a company has built up an unpayable debt to a local crime lord, and to escape punishment he sells his famous dancer wife to the lecherous old man figuring a 90 year old can’t do too much bad with her. Perhaps not, but others can while he watches. She’s put on stage in an underground BDSM sex show and begins a spiraling decent from strongly independent woman to submissive sex slave
