FLOWER AND SNAKE (1974)
A thoroughly sleazy bit of sexual perversion from Japan that I think is supposed to sorta be a comedy too but filled with bondage, rape, forced-enemas and characters that have very few redeeming social values I'm not sure if the comedy aspect is gonna shine through to most American viewers. This is the movie that is supposed to have started a whole genre known as Roman Porno. What that label means I'm not really sure since they're not Roman or even really pornos as we know them today. This particular film has many sequels and remakes. If the rest of them are as strange and amazingly disgusting as this one I gotta check them out. The plot has to do with a weird-o boss, who has some wacky kinks, which include attempted rape and giving the maid a surprise enema in the garden, who wants to get his wife trained to be more subservient, so he gets an impotent lowlife employee of his to do this using torture, bondage, rape and forceful enemas of his own. While this is going on the employees mom is busy shooting pornos in the basement with a large black gentleman and abusing her sons hostage whenever she feels like it. It's an all out sleaze-fest and overall not a very feminist film to say the least. I think the final message is that men are lovable even though they are all creepy rapist losers or is it that the woman is able to control everything even though it seems like she is powerless? I guess it depends on your point of view. It may be close to being one of the most perfect films for miscreants and pervo's so of course I recommend it highly.
