Nami works in a department store. She is asked to stand in for a friend in a magazine photo-shoot, which turns out to be for an S&M magazine called “Red Porno”. When the photos are published, she is sacked and her lover abandons her. Muraki, who is an unpopular otaku loner, tries to meet up with Nami but is shot by a woman who takes him for a rapist and dies. Fourth in the series and full of stylish sequences and almost non stop full bloodied (almost hardcore) SM orientated sex. Ikeda’s film does not fit the basic rape, revenge/consequence pattern of the others and initially confuses because it does not conform to our expectations. Especially difficult for western audiences is the mixing of, very strong sexual needs of women, rape and romance. We get particularly frank, wet and slurping scenes of female masturbation, images/memories/fantasies of rape and the gradual development of a most unlikely romantic liaison. The film is at times so good to look at that the slight and occasional lapses are noticeable. One is thrown for instance when Nami runs from her department store after hearing that she is to be sacked for appearing in a porno mag. The music and the way she is shot leads one to suspect that she has had enough and will seek to avenge herself. This French release DVD is Japanese with French subtitles only unfortunately….
