If you loved Saya Zamurai, try R100 - Härter ist besser
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Hitoshi Matsumoto, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Saya Zamurai, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What R100 - Härter ist besser is
Obsessed with the edges of consent, a pliant office drone tries to buy his way out of a sado-masochistic subscription service that refuses annual renewal notices. When the dungeon mistresses decline to release him he trades salary for servitude, only to find his ordinary life collapsing faster than his willpower. The film takes the indignities of consumer culture literally and leaves little room for second thoughts.
