Beauty's Exotic Dance: Torture! (発禁本「美人乱舞」より責める！, Hakkinbon Bijin Ranbu Yori: Semeru!) aka Torture! and From the Banned Book "Wild Dance of a Beautiful Woman": Torture![2] is a 1977 Japanese film in Nikkatsu's Roman porno series, directed by Noboru Tanaka and starring Junko Miyashita. Set during the Taishō period, it uses Nikkatsu's superior technical resources to create what Jasper Sharp calls a pink film-style "sumptuous festival of cruelty" portraying the artistic life of the photographer, writer and kinbakushi, Seiu Itō.[3]
