aka: Lost Paradise
Shitsurakuen is a horrendous film. If you know Masami Akita's music project Merzbow then you're half-prepared for what he'll assault you with visually. It features a woman committing Seppuku (Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment) for what seems to last forever. It's difficult to watch. It's obviously fake, but has just enough ick factor to make you want to turn away. The implied sexual pleasure she receives from the self-inflicted torture turns it into a weird fetish film that will offend many. It’s also very boring. I can’t even rate it. It’s like fake snuff.
