Raigyo -
Film synopsis: Set amidst the desolate background of a warped and twisted Japan. Raigyo takes its concept from a real life event in which a black clad woman murders a man that she had just met by chance through a phone sex club. Her chosen place for this execution, where he will be stabbed to death, is called the ‘Love Hotel’.
Raigyo enhances these themes of random meetings, random sex and random love by adding random sexual violence to the mix. All of these elements are then played out against an alienating, surreal, and bleak Japan which all combine to make Raigyo a stunning example of 'Pink' cinema.
