His wife comatose nearby in a hospital, Takafumi Katayama, melancholy furniture store clerk, single parent raising a young son, seeks a reprieve from his depressing situation. He contacts a niche S&M agency and it's not long before he's agreeing to leather clad women humiliating him in public. Now with his monotonous existence punctuated by ritualistic beatings, things fast grow out of control for Takafumi. Soon the dominatrices start turning up unannounced at his door. Disruptions to his daily routine go from the workplace to his wife's hospital room during visiting hours. Parenting a child becomes impossible. Desperate to put an end to the service Takafumi discovers this is one subscription he can't cancel. Ninja women like this aren't easily deterred. From the man-eating Gobble Queen and the depraved Spit Queen, R100 introduces a warped world in flux, a gonzo caper in which genres bend, jokes become punchlines and zany disorientation is the norm. From madcap visionary Hitoshi Matsumoto, Japan's antecedent to Takeshi Miike and John Waters, comes the strange and always surprising R100. Do you dare? (Accent Film Entertainment)

I surprisingly liked this piece of Japanese brutal nonsense, unlike other nonsense from Japan. It’s a weird mix of mysterious and unsettling perversion and very black humour that’s hard to rationalise (especially by the end, the last 15 minutes are utter insanity). This time I liked it, probably because I enjoy stories about people that get into conflict with secret sects, clubs, powerful societies, etc. It’s true, however, that R100 is a tad more bizarre and absurd than other similar movies, so, to fully understand it, I will have to wait another 80 years or so. PS: The earthquake breaks were probably the best thing in the movie.
