Cruel Female Love Suicide (残酷おんな情死, Zankoku onna jōshi) is an April 1970 Japanese film directed by Shōgorō Nishimura and starring Annu Mari and Sanae Ōhori. The major Japanese film studio Nikkatsu began to experiment with erotic-themed movies beginning in the late 1960s in an attempt to save the company from insolvency. Cruel Female Love Suicide continued this trend which eventually resulted in the inauguration of Nikkatsu's Roman porno series of films in November 1971 with Apartment Wife: Affair In the Afternoon, also directed by Shōgorō Nishimura.[1]
Chie (Sanae Ōhori), newly arrived in Tokyo, saves her friend from school, Mari (played by the half-Indian actress Annu Mari), from a suicide attempt. The two girls become close, eventually leading to a lesbian relationship. Their affair drifts into sadism and involvement with a bizarre sex cult, resulting in the deaths of the two lovers.[1][2][3]
