I Want to Be Violated!

A newspaper reporter takes pictures of famous people cheating on their wives in his secret business, and uses them to blackmail them for a lot of money. He rents an apartment in Tokyo with the money and keeps a mistress. One day, the man's wife is raped while alone at home. The wife cannot tell her husband about it. The man goes to a university professor as usual to ask for money, but is confronted with a photo of his wife being raped. If he doesn't want this to be spread to the world, he should never do this again. Meanwhile, the wife, feeling lonely because her husband doesn't pay her attention, accepts the rapist two or three times, and eventually they fall in love with each other...

Directed by Seiji Izumi, I Want to Be Violated! leans on a strong ensemble — Maiko Kazama, Saburô Doi, Asami Hayama — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1980.
