aka ""Star of David: Hunting for Beautiful Girls"
Plot by Imdb:"The film portrays the life of Tatsuya,a young man of proper descent whose outward respectability hides his urges for rape and torture.This handsome rapist seduces women,then brings them to the basement of the mansion he inherited from his well-to-do parents,where he indulges in lengthy sessions of sado-sexual violence.An explanation of sorts is given for Tatsuya's sinister urges:he was conceived when his mother was violated by a deranged serial rapist while his father was forced to watch."
This Suzuki's movie, based on a manga by Maasaki Soto, is a wild ride. If you're easily offended, you better avoid at all cost. I must state right now that I am personally repulsed by sexual violence against women or anybody in general, but you need to remember that theses movies are just that: movies. And movies of the exploitative kind, so they can't be taken seriously, even if they have great cinematographic qualities.
Here, all the weirdness of a psycho-killer serial rapist is showed, a completely twisted mind that always goes further in monstrosity and knows no limits. Forget the American psychos, Tatsuya is the real deal. He is a living symbol of the brutality and sickness of the human mind, as multiples references to the Nazi and Japanese war crimes are made all along the movie.
Suzuki has to be considered one of the master of Japanese sexploitation movies in the 70's with titles as "Convent of the Sacred Beast", some "Girl Boss Blues" movies, some "Sukeban Guerilla", the marvelously deviant "Terrifying Girls' High School: Lynch Law Classroom", a "Red Peony Gambler", etc....He makes a great job here, both artistically and on the deviant side.
An incredibly daring movie that will left you a lasting impression.
Sorry, no trailer.
