Sayuri, the stripper ( Japanese. 一条 さ ゆ り 濡 れ た 欲 情 , Ichijō Sayuri: Nureta yokujō , dt. About: "Sayuri Ichijō - Wet Excitement") is a Japanese sexploitation film by director Tatsumi Kumashiro from 1972, who also wrote the script. The production of the erotic film was taken over by the Nikkatsu studios, which have specialized in Pinku eiga since the 1970s , which gave their directors as much artistic freedom as possible, as long as their works contained a minimum of four sex scenes per hour and too low within a very short time, often within a week Production costs were producible.

The genre film, which at the time was subject to strict regulations by Japanese censorship and was not allowed to show genitals or pubic hair, was praised by audiences and critics alike and became a cult film in its home country. Furthermore, the film , which was awarded the renowned Kinema Jumpō Prize , had a decisive influence on the further career of the director and significantly influenced the Japanese sexploitation production in the following years. In the lead role of the eponymous stripper, Japan's most famous actress at the time, played in so-called Tokudashi strip shows, Sayuri Ichijō , who was constantly in the headlines of the sensational press because of her provocative appearances.

On October 12, 2007, the feature film, which was not preceded by an evaluation by the Federal Testing Office for Media Harmful to Young People, was broadcast in a television premiere on the German / French cultural channel arte in the original language with German subtitles. On April 18, 2008, the first German DVD evaluation took place under the title Wet Desire .

action

Young Harumi is obsessed with becoming Japan's most successful stripper. One day she comes to Osaka , where from now on she tries with all means at her disposal to unconditionally reach the center of her life, striptease and that to show off. Some of the popular nightclubs in town include a. also the famous undressing artist Sayuri Ichijō, who practically practices an art form of stripping, but is about to end her career; only a judgment for “causing public nuisance through immorality” is still pending.

One day, Harumi meets the popular Sayuri, whom she openly admires and worships, but she ignores her and turns her away in a friendly but firm manner. The behavior of her great role model deeply offends the young competitor Harumi, and she reveals herself to her lover, Daikichi, who had previously been released early for murder after almost three years in prison. She asks her boyfriend, who adores her with devotion, to cause Sayuri physical harm, but he refuses her request.

When Sayuri does not attend her show a short time later, Harumi sees her great opportunity. She and Mari performed a lesbian show to the great applause of the audience , but after her performance she was arrested for exhibitionism and immorality and released against payment of 30,000 yen . After her release, there is an argument with Mari. So, much to the displeasure of her partner and her older friend, Harumi terminates the collaboration. The argument escalates, fights break out and Harumi incites her lover Daikichi to stand by her and defend her honor. Daikichi stabbed Mari's friend and injured his leg. Her boyfriend Maris previously threatened to take advantage of his relationships so that she could not find a job. After Daikichi is arrested, Harumi innocently surrenders to the victim of the knife attack in order to continue working as a nude dancer. She becomes his lover.

In between, Sayuri is sentenced, who is found guilty and sentenced to six months of work. With the judge's verdict, the well-known artist announces her resignation at a media-effective press conference, but at the same time promotes her three-day farewell performance, at which Harumi is also allowed to perform with a show act. After Sayuri's celebrated appearance, the police storm the performance and take all women into custody except Harumi, who previously managed to hide and thus escape state violence. At the end of the film you see Harumi with her own show and a new kind of presentation of the female orgasm on a stage.
