Editorial Reviews

The sexy Ryoko Watanabe stars as Ami, a jaded housewife who pitches herself, body and soul, into the Tokyo decadence of the decade in an attempt to pep up her marriage. She secretly joins the elite "Madame Machiko Society Club" to experiment with discrete sex games and the thrill of making love to anonymous men. The sexual perversion and sick depravity she is subjected to, by her clients, is much more than she bargained for. Bondage, beads and whips are only the beginning! Can she escape this secret life she has chosen, or will it destroy her forever?

Bonus Features: Original Theatrical Trailer, Liner Notes from Jasper Sharp

4.0 out of 5 stars Nikkatsu Nastiness June 9, 2012

By Ramm

Format:DVD

Impulse DVD seems to finally be rolling out some of its' long awaited Centennial Collection of Roman Porno from the infamous Japanese Nikkatsu studio. As most fans of the Japanese 'Pink' cinema are aware, Nikkatsu turned to erotically themed films in the 1970's to save itself from bankruptcy and subsequently generated a massive outpouring of ero-productions that, despite outraging censors, did bring folks into the theaters. However, as the 80's rolled around competition from the home VHS phenomenon started to bite into the movie-going market again - Nikkatsu responded by 'upping the ante' and injecting more kink into their films, including a lot of S/M themed action - the flik "Debauchery" is an excellent example of this 'later' trend.

"Debauchery" borrows a bit of its' plot from the premise of the 'famous' French erotic film: "Belle de Jour" - wherein the lead character is a 'bored' housewife who dabbles in the realm of prostitution in order to spice up her life a little. In typical Japanerotica mode though the stuff that THIS film's 'housewife' heroine gets up to would have had "Belle de Jour's" Catherine Deneuve running screaming 'for the exit'! Seemingly unsatisfied with her, busy surgeon, husband's 'tender' style of love making - the wife, Ami, (stalwartly played by the pulchritudinous Ryoko Watanabe ) decides to check out the 'sex club' that her husband's 'best friend' (who has the hots for her!) has mentioned. Her first 'client' is a huge brutish guy who proceeds to 'have his way with her' - every which way imaginable - leaving her in an exhausted, but apparently 'satisfied', state - and she is instantly 'hooked' on the wild sex. As the movie progresses so does the 'creativity' of the perverse love-making scenarios that she endures - especially when the aformentioned 'friend' of her husband shows up at the 'club' and proceeds to lead her further down the masochistic path that she has developed a craving for. This film has lotsa nudity and hot sex with only a bit of the annoying 'fogging' technique that censors imposed on Japanese sex flix - most of the 'action' is un-marred and pretty imaginative in its' portrayal of bent sexual scenarios - something the Japanese are masters of. For me the movie's 70 odd minutes flew by in an enjoyable whirl of feverish sex & BDSM activity. If such fare is to your liking "Debauchery" may prove very satisfying.

Technically, the (widescreen) color film transfer is nice and sharp and the English sub-titles are good. There are no 'extras' to speak of on the disk, but the 'box' contains a nice set of liner notes by Pink Cinema expert Jasper Sharp. Personally I'm looking forward to more of this Asian kink as Impulse continues to release it - I'd definitely recommend this DVD to those who enjoy a little weirdness in their ero-viewing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, for a Japanese movie in the 80's July 9, 2012

By abnjorgenson

This is a soft core (rated X) Japanese movie. There is some bondage and BDSM activity, but all the penetration scenes are blocked so you can't see anything. This movie is in Japanese with English subtitles. Since this movie first came out in 1983 (almost 30 years ago), I'm surprised no one has dubbed this movie in English.

The story evolves around a beautiful doctors's wife named Ami. She is finding her sexual life at home boring. A friend of hers suggest joining a club (Madame Machiko Society Club) secretly which experiments in sex games as well as having the thrill of making love to anonymouse men.

Behind her husbands back, she joins the club. After her first encounter with a very large muscular man who whipped and forced sex on her, she is hooked for more. A few more stops in the club occure until a friend of her husband shows up (whom she hates). He always wanted to seduce her from the start. He ties her up, whips her, and performs sex on her. He blackmails her, every time her husband is out of town, to have kinky sex with him. There's more to the movie, so I'll just end it here.

I gave this movie 4 stars. I would have given this movie 5 stars if it was dubbed in English. The color, scenery and sound is great. The bondage scenes are also very good.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really exciting movie September 6, 2012

By Ozzy

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

typical japanese movie. Shallow characters, some nudity but it is forced into the movie. Not really a great story line or actually good sex scenes. If you are into Japanese movies, it is fine. However, if you think this is a BDSM style movie, do not buy it.
