Japanese art nouveau meets nasty, filthy uninhibited sex. What more can anyone ask for? Well, maybe a dubbed version.

With the exception of a language barrier and a deplorable censorship standard that pixelates anything sexual in its path, this incredible installment in the Severe Oriental Bondage series conjures up the lost art of '70s porn.

Beginning with two young Japanese girls being beaten by a circus barker, the opening scene is shot in a scratchy sepia tone. It soon fades into present day where a gorgeous girl, bound and helpless sheds tears of pain and pleasure at the hands of her tormentor. It fades again until we see two men (actor and director?) kissing. This is when the video is revealed to be a movie inside a movie.

Our lead actor is a meek, confused bisexual man. Aloof with his director/lover, he is the ultimate man-slave in what seems to be a strained relationship. In walks a woman, confusing the situation further by introducing herself as a more masculine version of himself. Now he's become her cross-dressing lover. As she witnesses the movie, she becomes involved in the twists of their lives. Too late to turn back, she becomes their ingénue, pulled into their perverted relationship, bound and suspended - yet obviously in control. This twisted tale comes to a crescendo when all three players act in the same scene; a conclusion that leaves everyone, including the viewer, completely drained.

Filled with numerous fetishes, this video leaves barely a stone unturned. From male/male action, squirting, and various spitting fetishes, to oculolingus (licking ones eyeball for sexual gratification) to nasolingus (arousal from sucking the nose of one's partner) to a wonderful scene that has the beautiful female pissing into the mouth of our cross-dressing actor, there is something for everyone.

The storyline is a bit difficult to follow at first, but it doesn't take much to understand what is going on by the end. The performers' passion and verve is a rare thing to see these days.

This video is one of the closest things to art-house porn that one could possibly hope for, and it deserves a pre-nom for Best Specialty Tape - Bondage & S/M.
