A Woman Called Sada Abe (実録阿部定, Jitsuroku Abe Sada) aka Sada Abe: A Docu-Drama (1975) is a Roman porno version of the Sada Abe story directed by Noboru Tanaka.
It is based on the true story of a woman who strangled her lover during a love-making session, then severed his penis, which she carried with her until her arrest.[1] The story became a national sensation in Japan in 1936, developing mythic overtones, and has since been interpreted by artists, philosophers, novelists and filmmakers.[2]
