I Am an S+M Writer

Kurosaki is an erotic novelist who uses his editor and a hired model to act out scenarios in his living room to use for inspiration in his writing. His wife Shizuko calls him a pervert but on the inside, she feels physically neglected. She tries to make him jealous, while also going after what she desires with someone else.

Directed by Ryuichi Hiroki, I Am an S+M Writer leans on a strong ensemble — Ren Osugi, Yôko Hoshi, Eri Yamazaki — 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 comedy titles of 2000.
