Koji Shiraishi, who became famous for extraordinary horror films like Noroi, shot this modern pinku eiga as a revenant of sorts of the classic Japanese soft sex flick, which saw its heyday in the 1970s and ’80s. Underground idol Misa is headhunted by a BDSM club for her supposed—or rather, anticipated—talents as a dominatrix. Seeing the prospect as a challenge at first, the young woman soon uses the S&M sessions to expand her erotic and sexual self- perception by several dimensions at once. Safe Word is exciting and stimulating, liberating and delightful. (SLASH Filmfestival)
