Extreme Japanese filmmaker Takashi Ishii (GONIN, FREEZE ME) directs the modern remake of 1974's HANA TO HEBI (itself based on the eponymous novel by erotica author Dan Oniroku). Shizuko, the dancer wife of a wealthy businessman, is ignored by her husband due to his high-pressure job. As a result, she begins to have a series of disturbing, masochistic fantasies. But her husband's many debts lead to those fantasies becoming reality, whether Shizuko wants them to or not, when Mr. Tashiro, a powerful crime boss, kidnaps her as payment. He submits her to a series of sexual tortures for his own pleasure, but doesn't realize that she may be enjoying the experience as well. FLOWER AND SNAKE is a sexploitation film with high production values, and is for mature audiences only.
