Hisayasu Sato, a very prolific Japanese director, further explores his favorite themes of alienation, erotic bondage, second hand imagery, and bodily corruption in "The Bedroom", a film as non-linear as it needs to be. "The Bedroom" is notorious for its casting of convicted cannibal Issei Sagawa in a supporting role as a voyeur. This is not Sagawa's only screen role, however. He also starred in a recreation of his crime in the tongue-in-cheek, obscure documentary "Seven Days of Cannibal Sagawa", a personal favorite of mine that I can't get listed on IMDb. He makes little impression in Sato's film, but he's an interesting curio, nevertheless. Films like this one are better attended than watched for they possess the tone of an art installation more than a piece of pure cinema. I am usually disappointed with the director's work (his "Lolita Vibrator Torture" irritated me) and "The Bedroom" is no exception. I recommend "Naked Blood", however, very highly.
