Interesting facts

Cruelty: Black Rose Torture aka Black Rose Slave is a 1975 Japanese film in Nikkatsu's Roman porno series, directed by Katsuhiko Fujii and starring Naomi Tani.

Background

Since first entering the softcore pornographic genre in 1971, Nikkatsu had been courting the "Queen" of pink film, Naomi Tani to work for them. Because Nikkatsu was reluctant to work in the SM genre, Tani's specialty, and Tani preferred to have starring roles in independent productions rather than supporting roles at Nikkatsu, she refused.

After Naomi Tani and Terumi Azuma had first worked together in Masaru Konuma's Wife to be Sacrificed (1974), Nikkatsu teamed the two women in several more projects, in which Azuma served in a supporting role to Tani. After Wife to be Sacrificed, Cruelty: Black Rose Torture was the second of these pairings. They were popular together, though they became rivals both on and off-screen.

Director Katsuhiko Fujii had previously been assigned to sequels in the Apartment Wife and Eros Schedule Book series, without much success. With Cruelty: Black Rose Torture he found the dark style and SM themes which would become his career forte. He was again teamed with Tani and Azuma in their next SM and torture opus, Oryu's Passion: Bondage Skin (1975), and went on to a career as one of Nikkatsu's most highly regarded "Best SM" directors.
