In two words: Sensational Stuff.
Films like this ("Star of David: Beauty Hunting" aka "Beautiful Girl Hunter") simply go places most other films fear to tread, and this is a route many (mostly unseen) Japanese shockers have taken.
As film's plot has already been described here, there's no reason for me to rehash that.
Suffice to say that, as an insatiable connoisseur of twisted and unique world cinema, I hold this film in very high regard and admire it for its amazing audaciousness and gorgeous aesthetics.
From the classical score, superb Bunto Sagawawa turn as an older generation rapist, to the elegantly directed scenes of graphic S & M to the erotically charged molestation scenes, this is the real deal and a credit to Nikkatsu for sinking major bucks into it.
Only the Japanese provide budgets this large for subjects this inflammatory and you've gotta love that.
The scenes of sexual abuse are both beautiful and brutal and the production design (the torture chamber, especially) is amazing.
Don't miss it!
