Quote:
Murder, sex, blood and designer erotism meet head-on in this
perverse tale of sexual alienation in nineties Japan.

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 loveby adding random sexual violence to the mix. All of
these elements are then played out against an alienating, surreal,
and bleak Japan which all combineto make Raigyo a stunning example
of ‘Pink’ cinema.
