Lady Black Rose (黒薔薇夫人, Kurobara fujin)akaMadame Black Rose is a 1978Japanese film in Nikkatsu's Roman porno series, directed by Shōgorō Nishimura and starring Naomi Tani.
Saori is the wealthy, unfaithful wife of the impotent Kosaku. When she returns from a trip abroad, Tsumura, Kosaku's assistant, meets her and takes Saori to an apartment. There Tsumura rapes her and submits her to various sexual tortures while she is photographed by photo-journalist Tayama. Her husband, Kosaku uses the photographs to blackmail Saori into giving him control of the family estate. Saori is returned to her mansion, but kept in a cage in the basement where she is subjected to regular bouts of abuse from Tsumura. Besides rape, other indignities endured by Lady Saori include breast bondage, enemas and the insertion of hen's eggs into her vagina. After Kosaku dies from a stroke, Saori realizes that she has come to enjoy Tsumura's treatment.[2][3]
Director Shōgorō Nishimura's first film in the S&M genre, Lady Black Rose was more successful than other works by the director at the time.[3] In their Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films, the Weissers write that two scenes in this film are often used as examples of the S&M genre in Nikkatsu's Roman Pornos. In one scene, brandy is poured into Tani's vagina while her skin can be seen changing from pale to red.[3] In a 1998 interview, Tani recalled the other scene: "People still talk about the "stomach expanding" scene in Lady Black Rose. The sadist forces me to drink gallons of water through a funnel. You can see my belly growing larger and larger. But, there was no mystery or SFX trick. I was simply good at sucking my belly into a small ball and then expanding it with a large exhale."[5] Due to scenes like this, Lady Black Rose has been called "the ultimate woman-as-an-object" film.[3]
Though the film was successful, according to the Weissers there is an unevenness between the film's story and its realization. They have high praise for director Nishimura and "the exquisite look of the production," while Oniroku Dan's story is called "rudimentary... mean-spirited mayhem." They conclude, "[Nishimura]'s visuals are, in a word, breath-taking. Perhaps there is no other SM film in Nikkatsu's library which so lovingly depicts the art of torture."[6] After the success of Lady Black Rose, Nishimura and Tani teamed up again for the more radical Rope Cosmetology (also 1978).[7]
