A harrowing S&M roughie from erratic cult filmmaker Hisayasu Sato, this gay-themed pinku-eiga entry deals with an abused man who literally turns into an insect. Naturally, Sato borrows heavily from Franz Kafka's {-Metamorphosis} and several of his other works, but the overall effect is far more Sadean than Kafkaesque.
