US PREMIERE!
Bakushi: The Incredible Lives of Rope-Masters
by Ryuichi Hiroki

From one of Japan’s most celebrated independent filmmakers. This film quietly explores the “art of erotic bondage” of female models by sadomasochistic masters who have turned rope-knotting into fine art. The centuries-old game of bondage and ritual chastising exists in several cultures, but the ceremonial detail and the stunning precision is as Japanese as flower arranging and pouring tea. (2007, 94 min, 35mm)

PLEASE NOTE : Film contains extreme sexual imagery and is intended only for adult viewers interested in the subject matter.
