Orgies of Edo
Directed by Teruo Ishii
Produced by Toei Company
A brutal, sexually explicit exploitation film that uses historical setting and graphic violence to depict moral transgression and suffering.
Three stories of moral sickness set during Japan’s prosperous Genroku era are told in this bloody follow-up to the sexploitation classic Shogun’s Joy of Torture, the politically incorrect moral lessons paint a trio of tales of tragic heroines caught up in violence, sadomasochism, incest and torture.
