Quote:
Set in 17th century Japan, when members of the Tokugawa clan ruled the country with fear and terror. Punishment for those who broke the rules set by the Shogunate was brutal and severe.
"Shoguns Joy of Torture" tells three terrifying stories about guilt, crime and punishment.
The film is loaded with some truly shocking torture scenes, so some unprepared viewers will be offended. Women are decapitated, burned alive, beaten, whipped or torn in two by oxen. The production values are high, the cinematography is polished and the soundtrack is moody and sad.
Language(s):Japanese, English commentary
Subtitles:English
