#kichiku

1997, Japan

Original title: Kichiku dai enkai

Translated as either 'Satanic Banquet' or 'Banquet of the Beasts', Kichiku was Kumakiri's student film (which was, incidentally, not well-received at the graduation screening) based on the true story of a group of student revolutionaries whose infighting causes them to brutally murder one another in the mountains.

"I remember that I saw a TV program featuring the incident, in which a picture of how they were lynched was shown", he said to Sam McKinlay in CineMuerte Magazine #10. "I was only a small child at the time, but was strongly shocked by the picture, and it is still in my mind like trauma. This memory became the core of Kichiku."

While Aizawa, the leader of a radical student group, is in prison, his girlfriend Masami takes over, and the group degenerates into a scattered collection of do-nothings who find an identity in their designation as 'radicals' but do little to deserve the title.

Masami sexually manipulates the men in the group to keep them allied with her until Aizawa is released.

When word gets back that Aizawa has committed suicide in his cell, the interim community they've created is suddenly like a hydra without a head; in grasping for something concrete they start to question each other's loyalties, and paranoia mounts, most notably in Masami who feels an incredible pressure to prove herself a worthy successor to Aizawa.

Her emotional fragility manifests as power-tripping and she exhibits increasingly sadistic and dictatorial behaviour over the group, leading to beatings, torture and ultimately murder - all done in the kind of graphic detail that is usually reserved for splatstick.

But despite a level of gore on par with Braindead or Story of Ricky, there's nothing funny about Kichiku .

While various characters can be held responsible for the onscreen violence, it is really Masami whose madness seems to be infecting all of them.

Until now I was just was able to find 4 stories, but I pretty sure the rest will be uploaded. 

The manga contains some short stories from different mangaka. But they all contain one thing... they are sooo smutty. After all... smutty is a kind word for so much incest and BDSM and... wasn’t this raping at the beginning.... .///.” 

I just can say... this is so wrong, but feels so right... <3
