Arrow Video US is offering SciFi Japan readers a chance to win their new Blu-ray of Teruo Ishii`s ORGIES OF EDO (???????? ?????, Zankoku Ijo Gyakutai Monogatari: Genroku Onna Keizu, 1969), a bloody follow-up to his SHOGUN`S JOY OF TORTURE (??????, Tokugawa Onna Keibatsu-shi, 1968), and the fourth entry in Toei`s `abnormal love` film series. Ishii`s politically incorrect moral lessons paint a trio of tales of tragic heroines caught up in violence, sadomasochism, incest and torture. Told in anthology style by an impassive physician (Teruo Yoshida), the first story follows Oito (Masumi Tachibana), an innocent young girl deceived by a handsome yakuza and sold into prostitution who finds herself in a doomed love affair with the man who brought her to ruin. The tale of Ochise (Mitsuko Aoi) is about the daughter of a rich merchant whose insatiable appetite for filth and perversion draws her deeper into violence, darkness and betrayal. Finally, the story of Omitsu (Miki Obana) follows a sadistic lord (Asao Koike) whose eye is caught one day by a beautiful member of his harem who shares his strange taste for pain and blood, but who holds a secret of her own that will destroy his entire household. Arrow Video US` release features a HD (1080p) digital transfer, the original uncompressed mono PCM audio, optional English subtitles, newly filmed interview with author Patrick Maccias, and a reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Matt Griffin, with the first pressing including an illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by author Tom Mes. The suggested retail price is $39.95.
