A man joins a bondage club and is pursued by an array of latex furies over the course of a year. What starts out pleasurably enough slowly turns into a nightmare. The new film by MATSUMOTO features every type of dominatrix imaginable and completely confounds expectations. It even awards itself an R100 rating – restricted for anyone under 100 years of age.
