Movie Reviews of Wife to Be Sacrificed (1975) / Sadistic and Masochistic (2000) (Sub)

Movie Review: Freedom is slavery
Summary: 4 Stars

Oh Naomi, how many times must you be bound, tortured and forced before you realize how much you love it? Apparently many, many times.

Naomi Tani, taking her name from the classic Junichiro Tanizaki novel Naomi, made her career in the Nikkatsu Studios notorious "pink" SM films. This woman has probably been tied up and beaten more than anyone else alive. If you have the stomach for this sort of thing, then "Wife to be Sacrificed" ("Ikenie fujin") is one of the best of the genre.

Kunisada's wife, Akiko (Naomi Tani), left him three years ago due to his violent temper. Kunisada has bided his time, until he could reclaim what is his. Kidnapping her, he takes her to a hidden cabin where he subjects her to a variety of humiliations, slowly breaking her will until she realizes that true love lies in abject submission to her husband. Along the way, they take in another couple, a failed double-suicide, and try to share their new found wisdom.

The style of "Wife to be Sacrificed," along with the performances of the actors, is what sets it apart from other films with similar plots. It is almost artistic in its pursuit of the boundaries of submission and love, taking itself very seriously. The eroticism is subdued, and is never explicit. While there is nudity, it is nothing even approaching "hardcore."

Definitely not everyone's cup of tea, and there is more than enough here to offend, but if you like a bit of well-done SM, then "Wife to be Sacrificed" is for you.

This DVD release is better than previous versions, including the documentary "Sadistic and Masochistic", a retrospective of director Masaru Konuma, the king of the genre and of course the director of "Wife to be Sacrificed" as well as the classic Flower and Snake. The feature film and this documentary make for a really nice package, and a great introduction into Japanese SM flicks.

Summary of Wife to Be Sacrificed (1975) / Sadistic and Masochistic (2000) (Sub)

In Wife to Be Sacrificed (aka IKENIE FUJIN) , Queen of Japanese erotica Naomi Tani plays Akiko, a wife who charges her husband with sexual battery. But he escapes from the police and goes into hiding. As three years pass, Akiko divorces him and tries to put the pieces of her life back in order. Suddenly, he returns. Full of rage and hatred, he kidnaps her and takes her to a house in a remote wooded area. There he disciplines Akiko vehemently, subjecting her to increasingly shocking forms of sexual torture, tetherings, and humiliations. Astonishingly, through the anger and lust, the pair develop a relationship that pushes the boundary of lurid passion and perverse obsession. Sadistic and Masochistic (2000) From Hideo Nakata, the director of THE RING and DARK WATER, a documentary about Masaru Konuma. Nakata served as assistant director to Konuma on many films and respects him as his mentor.
