Mrs Fuji, wife of a rich business man, has just hired a new maid, Aya,
and the two women become close friends almost immediately. Everything
could be so happy, but then Mrs Fuji's husband dies, and Mr Kita, his
businesspartner, tells Mrs Fuji that her husband was pretty much bankrupt
at the end of his life, and his debts are so high Mrs Fuji will not even
be able to keep her house ... unless of course she becomes Mr Kita's
mistress. Soon enough, Mrs Fuji gives in to the man's demands, much to the
dismay of her maid, and she even starts to enjoy it. Mr Kita's son
Kazuhiko soon has pity with the woman though, and despite the fact that he
is engaged to Mariko - a relationship arranged by his father since Mariko
is the daughter of a millionaire -, Kazuhiko falls in love with Mrs Fuji.
Then Mr kita plans to remarry - a businesswoman - but keep Mrs Fuji as
concubine, and now Kazuhiko tries everything to persuade Mrs Fuji to marry
him, something that eventually leads to rape. He also wants to break off
with Mariko, even it that would lead to falling out with his father,a nd
Mariko's dad crushing Mr Kita ... but he's dissuaded by her, who
apparently sees him as nothing more than a boy toy. Mrs Fuji is
devastated by all the problems she caused, sends Aya to see her family and
drowns herself in the sea ... The plot of this film sounds
pretty much like a sleazy soap opera, and this being a pink movie, Slave
Widow of course delivers the nudity to go with a story like this - at
the same time though, the film is anything but your typical dirty movie,
pretty much every image of Slave Widow seems to be carefully
orchestrated, all sex scenes are highkly stylized and seem to carry parts
of the narration rather than interrupting it. That said, the film is
unfortunately not perfect: Especially the sex scenes are drawn out too
long, so that several of the ideas that seem vastly innovative when first
shown become repetitive and slightly boring over the course of merely one
scene, and the sheer number of sex scenes often leads to them repeating
their point to the point of bluntness. Still, while not a perfect film,
it's an interesting viewing experience, to say the very least.
