A wife charges her husband with sexual battery. He escapes from the police and goes into hiding. In three years, she divorces him and tries to put the pieces of her life back in order, when suddenly he returns. Obsessed with rage and hatred, he kidnaps her and brings her to a house in a remote wooded area. There he disciplines her vehemently, subjecting her to increasingly shocking forms of sexual torture, tetherings, suspensions and humiliations. Astonishingly, through the rage and lust, the pair develops a relationship that pushes the boundaries of lurid passions and perverse obsessions.

Viewing Notes
Realizing that I’ve grown a bit weary of the Japanese exploitation scene I still opted to receive Masaru Konuma’s seminal Wife to Be Sacrificed (1974), often considered his best pinku eiga film. I’d say that it covers all the bases fairly well and still highly disturbing. Hard to believe this was a “hit” back in its day but that’s the Japanese for you. Bonus: the documentary I wanted to see is also on this disc! Watched a little but saved for another day when I’m ready to dive back in.
