A cinema projectionist (Ren Ohsugi) becomes obsessed with the female writer of a rape-themed film.
The writer witnessed (shown in flashback) a rape by a tattooed man when she was just a moppet.
From this simple premise erupts a nasty, erotic, tightly directed "abuse" flick from reliable director Yojiro Takita.
This has something for everyone and is beautifully shot and lit. The surreal opening sequence of a rapist chasing a schoolgirl through a tunnel establishes the grim, almost industrial tone. There is much (white) panty fondling during the attack sequences and the level of viciousness is refreshingly high.
A gentle lesbian seduction in a bathroom is volcanic for what it suggests, as is the extended, off-the-meter lesbian tryst that follows. Actress Kaoru Orimoto, who plays the pink film scriptwriter and target of Ohsugi's obsession, is incredibly hot and has the body and face of a goddess.
There are many reasons to hunt RENZOKU BOKO (SERIAL RAPE aka THE RAPES) down. A fog-filled sequence in a forest where our "hero" disposes of a beautiful dead body is gorgeously shot and directed. Another highlight is a rape sequence that takes place in a front of a giant movie screen where a similar act of transgression is being shown.
Takita pushes his own boundaries towards the film's climax when he has Ohsugi burning a woman's crotch with his lighter moments before she blinds him and watches him plummet to his well-deserved death.
Ohsugi as the twisted miscreant projectionist is entirely convincing.
Not for the knee-jerk crowd, but certainly a prize find for the true believers.
