This classic GIMP flick is a must-see for aficionados. It stars Naomi Tani, who was so outstanding in Flower and Snake, as Akiko, the estranged wife of pedophile Kunisada, whom he kidnaps, humiliates, tortures and rapes over the course of the entire movie. I will concentrate on the GIMP bits, of which there are many.

Pedophile Kunisada is admiring the pre-teen object of his affections (not a little disturbing to contemplate) when he catches sight of his ex-wife. He abandons the little girl and kidnaps his ex-wife, then takes her to an isolated house in the woods.

8:30 minutes. Akiko makes Kunisada promise to let her go if she submits to him. He agrees. He sucks her nipple, ties her wrists with a sash, and rapes her with a large white candle. The scene lasts for 3-1/2 minutes. As you probably guessed, he does not let her go.

13:00 minutes. There are two humiliation scenes next. One where Akiko has her hands bound behind her back and she is tethered to the wall and must fall forward to eat out of dishes on the floor. Then she struggles to arrange herself to pee in a large bowl, but stops when Kunisada walks back in to watch. She begs for him to let her go to the bathroom. He leads her out and watches as she pees and defecates, to her shame and embarrassment.

17:30 minutes. A naked Akiko, wearing a noose around her neck, bathes herself. She uses a knife to cut her noose and slice Kunisada, then flees the house naked only to be quickly recaptured.

Kunisada binds and gags her.

21:00 minutes. Kunisada removes the gag, ties her wrists and ankles to a bamboo pole, and pulls her feet up into the air.

He spends a couple minutes dripping hot wax onto her crotch and belly as she cries out and struggles. We only see the wax on her belly since this is a "Pink" film and not an explicit JAV production. Even so, it is an exceptional hot wax torture scene. She finally passes out.

28:30 minutes. While Kunisada goes to her house to retrieve some clothes, he leaves Akiko tightly bound and gagged. Not tightly enough, however, since she manages to free herself.

Akiko flees the house, only to run into two depraved hunters. In a 3 minute sequence, they chase her down, cut off the ropes binding her, and rape her.

Kunisada returns to find her naked and spreadeagled on the forest floor, unconscious. He bathes her in a stream, then takes her back to the house.

31:30 minutes. Kunisada dresses Akiko in a white wedding kimono, ties her hands behind her back, and hoists her into the air. He ties a rope around one of her thighs and pulls it up and apart to expose her crotch. Then he foams up her crotch and shaves her smooth, warning her not to move or her will cut her. He cuts the inside of her thigh anyway, probably on purpose.

Once he has her shaved, Kunisada lowers Akiko and lays her back onto a box, opens her kimono to suck her breasts, then fucks her. The entire suspension-shaving-rape scene runs 6-1/2 minutes.

It is at this point, sadly, that we begin to realize that Akiko is starting to enjoy her abuse.

43:00 minutes. Fortunately, Kunisada happens upon two young lovers (Kaoru and Kiyoshi) who overdosed in some "Romeo and Juliet" scenario. Kunisada focuses on Kaoru (Terumi Azuma), of course. He opens her dress to expose her breasts, runs his hands up under her dress, pulls her panties down and off, lifts her dress up higher and rapes her. Then he brings her back to the house. That makes Akiko jealous. Kaoru's boyfriend, Kiyoshi, stumbles into the house and collapses.

Kunisada ties Kiyoshi sitting on the floor in a spectator position. He ties Kaoru standing bent over, wearing only panties.

52:00 minutes. Kunisada pulls down Kaoru's panties and injects a significant volume of enema into her. He instructs Akiko to tend to the girl, and she holds a bag up behind Kaoru as she struggles and cries and finally releases her bowels, all while Kiyoshi helplessly watches.

Then Kunisada instructs Akiko to service Kiyoshi while he cleans up Kaoru. Akiko lowers herself onto Kiyoshi and fucks him.

Meanwhile, Kunisada lays Kaoru on the floor and fucks her.

58:00 minutes. Akiko is bound on her back atop some rocks. Kunisada walks up. Akiko begs him, "Please hit me," and Kunisada proceeds to whip her.

Back in the house, the two young lovers are bound standing, sniping at each other. Kunisada's goal was to destroy their love, which apparently he has done, so her releases them. Kunisada leads Akiko on a leash to a cave and they have sex. When they return, the two lovers have tied themselves together and strangled each other with rope. Kunisada is disappointed.

In the final scene, the police have followed Kunisada's pre-teen lover to the house, and they walk in to find the dead bound lovers and a tightly bound Akiko, who tells them not to untie her. Meanwhile, Kunisada runs into the girl and they walk off, hand in hand. Kind of a yuck ending.

SUMMARY: Wife To Be Sacrificed deserves a top spot on every GIMPer's Favorite Movies list. It is one long torture, humiliation and rape adventure, with two attractive female victims. Kidnapping, rape, humiliation, bondage and suspension bondage, gang-bang, forced crotch shaving, enema, and whipping are all well represented. The only things I did not like were the pedophile angle and that Akiko began to enjoy her tribulations. But if you enjoy watching a woman broken and turned submissive, I suppose that last part is not a complete negative.

This is definitely an A movie. Required viewing for all GIMPophiles.
