FROM THE LINER NOTESAt the tender age of sixteen, Seiko (Michiko Aoyama) was sexually abused by three men. This horrifying attack scarred her mentally and resulted in her getting pregnant and infected with syphilis. Now a well-respected doctor in Japan, she practices medicine by day and prowls the city streets at night in search of lovers.Possessing a raging desire for revenge against man, she destroys them with the one weapon they cannot resist...sex! Finally marrying and settling down, Saeko s life changes for the better. But, her new husband (Akihiko Kaminara) may have a dark secret of his own. Madame O is a classic and controversial tale of revenge from late 1960s Japan. Director Seiichi Fukuda uses widescreen cinematography and a strange mix of both black and white and color imagery to paralyze audiences with gore, nudity and shocking violence.

REVIEW
Madame O is seriously pissed off. You would be too if you were attacked on the beach when you were a nubile 16-year-old, stripped to your fabulous titties and savagely raped by three men on a beach. Adding insult to forced entry, she gets preggers and syphilis from the attack. Years later, she's a doctor, but she still has a serious chip on her shoulder and said chip is directed at all men. She prowls through the streets looking for men, takes them home and fucks their brains out before using her doctor skills to turn their bodies into dismembered, bloody corpses. Then she gets married but can she trust her husband or is she going to have brutally kill his dumb ass too? Probably. With a surprising amount of nudity and gore for a late '60s Japanese sexploitation, Madame O is a seriously perverse rape-revenge classic. -- Rick Stanko
