R100

In this audaciously kinky, meta-comedic thriller, Takafumi Katayama (Nao Ohmori, ICHI THE KILLER), a lonely father with a secret taste for S&M, hires a boutique dominatrix agency that specializes in guerrilla acts of public degradation. Although the rough treatment and humiliation he receives from these leather-clad women––in cafés and on the street––drives him to ecstatic pleasure, he soon finds himself over his head during a surprise house call by one of the mistresses. After a freak and fatal accident, Takafumi is forced into action with a slew of vengeful dominatrices chasing him down. R100—the title a riff on the Japanese movie rating system, whose equivalent to NC-17 is R18—is directed by Hitoshi Matsumoto (BIG MAN JAPAN, SYMBOL), one of Japan's most preeminent and beloved comedic talents.
