HER MAJESTY’S DISSERVICE

Of all the different types of queens, I had to be the damn queen of S&M.

Maybe Junko Mabuki wasn’t the queen of Nikkatsu Pictures’ roman porno cycle, but she was certainly one of its major figures, and oh, the ordeals she went through in her fifteen films. This poster that has her looking like she somehow got stuck inside Batman’s mask was made for Dan Oniroku hakui nawa jigoku, known in English as White Uniform in Rope Hell and—unfortunately—All Women Are Whores. We couldn’t locate the movie, which caused us to breathe a sigh of relief. But if you want to know what Mabuki was all about, cinematically speaking, the films of hers we have watched include (English titles only) Female Teacher: Rope Hell, Female Beautician Rope Discipline, Secretary Rope Discipline, and Blazing Bondage Lady. Those titles should answer any questions. We also watched her in Hell of Roses, which, while its title seems to suggest a thematic and tonal change from Mabuki’s usual fare, is also about ropes. Dan Oniroku hakui nawa jigoku premiered in Japan today in 1980.
