Synopsis:

The screenplay for Flower and Snake 5: Rope Magic was written by director Shûji Kataoka who other notable films include S&M Hunter Begins and S&M Hunter.

The plot for Flower and Snake 5: Rope Magic is yet another adaptation of Oniroku Dan’s novel Flower and Snake (Hana To Hebi). The set up is simple and to the point. A young man named Nozawa concocts a revenge scheme after his girlfriend Kumiko’s father, a construction tycoon refuses to loan him money. What starts out as an attempt to extort money! Quickly takes a more perverse turn when the men who Nozawa has aligned himself, with decided that they that they are going keep the blackmail money and transform Kumiko and her step mother Shitsuko into submissive nymphomaniacs.

The film progresses with a series of degradation scenes that retread ground covered in previous Flower and Snake adaptations. The most satisfying moment in the film is unfortunately the film’s twisted ending. Besides the jaw dropping ending, the only other moment in the film that is worth noting is a scene where Kumiko and Shitsuko, are put on a seesaw like contraption which has Opium that runs towards the side that is lowered and into each woman’s crotch. Ultimately Flower and Snake 5: Rope Magic is an uneventful film that just goes through the motions.
