outrageous and stupendous piece of film making
Trying to sort out just which of this series in which is quite a task with three versions made in the 80s and then two remakes in this decade by Takashi Ishii, also under the title of Flower and Snake. I remember having a video with the title Flower and Snake 4 and believe that must have been the first Ishii film with the numbering ignoring the very first film. And after that preamble, on to the original 1974 Flower and Snake ( the box of which incorrectly credits Ishii with the direction!). Unlike the Ishii films which have all the tight bondage scenes but are a bit, sexed up, shall we say, this is very grim indeed at times. Having said that, one of the more gruelling scenes involving an extensive forced enema, the sequence is ultimately played for laughs! But then the first bondage rape scene ends up being played as romantic, so be prepared for anything and never imagine you will be able to anticipate a good Japanese film maker. Devastating and philosophical, horrifying and whimsical by turns, this outrageous and stupendous piece of film making ultimately presents us with the most controversial of images as the bound slave visibly controls her ‘masters’ and as the film closes on a freeze frame as cynical as any Bunuel, she recruits another.

Preston Sturges Does Story Of O
I first saw FLOWER AND SERPENT in the eighties at the Thalia. It was part of a wonderful film series on Japanese B-movies—movies regular Japanese folks see, not artsy Kurosawa flicks. Several audience members walked out in disgust within the first few minutes, but I stayed, fascinated. It was the first—and still only—Japanese bondage comedy I had ever seen.

A young, sexually impotent salaryman lives at home with his dominating—literally— mother. She produces “kinbaku” (bondage) movies in the basement to make ends meet. When the salaryman’s boss discovers stills from the mother’s work in the salaryman’s desk, the boss mistakenly assumes the salaryman is a “nawashi” (bondage master) and orders him to kidnap and train the boss’s sexually unresponsive wife. Complications ensue when the wife and salaryman fall in love with each other.

This movie is frankly not for everyone. It depends on how comfortable you are, for example, with a running subplot involving enemas. Can screwball romantic comedy and hardcore bondage scenes peacefully coexist? Imagine THE STORY OF O as written/directed by Preston Sturges and you’ll have some idea. (The closest modern, Western equivalent is SECRETARY.) I recently stumbled across a DVD of FLOWER AND SERPENT at Kim’s under the title FLOWER AND SERPENT ’74. Apparently, the movie has been remade several times, and there have been numerous sequels. It was every bit as bizarre as I remembered it. If you want to see a truly unusual movie, and get some insight into the dark underbelly of Japanese culture, this is a good place to start.
