Usually when BDSM is played for laughs, it’s being laughed at. Anybody remember Exit To Eden (US, 1994) In The Bondage Master (Japan, 1998), it’s being laughed with. There’s no shortage of Japanese rope bondage, but everything remains mild until the extended climax when things turn to flat-out farce as the lawyer-by-day-domme-club-owner-by-night joins with the disgraced doctor turned bondage expert and the nubile newbie use their erotic skills to foil the mobsters trying to muscle in. Not the greatest movie ever made, but hooray for the kinky. Not many of those around.
