A very ordinary man (Nao Omori) who takes care of his son while his wife lies in a coma, enters a very ordinary building. Following a seductive ride on a merry-go-round, he signs up with an exclusive club. Membership is one year only and cannot be cancelled under any circumstances. Happily he endures dominatrix intrusions in his daily life, until they get a little too close to his unsuspecting family. With a courage not displayed in his professional life as a bed salesman, he tries to cancel his membership, evoking the wrath of the American CEO, who descends upon Tokyo to teach him a lesson.

I surprisingly liked this piece of Japanese brutal nonsense, unlike other nonsense from Japan. It’s a weird mix of mysterious and unsettling perversion and very black humour that’s hard to rationalise (especially by the end, the last 15 minutes are utter insanity). This time I liked it, probably because I enjoy stories about people that get into conflict with secret sects, clubs, powerful societies, etc. It’s true, however, that R100 is a tad more bizarre and absurd than other similar movies, so, to fully understand it, I will have to wait another 80 years or so. PS: The earthquake breaks were probably the best thing in the movie.
