Both films use the backdrop of gleaming skyscrapers and plush hotel rooms to highlight a "spiritual vacuum" and emotional isolation.
The original Tokyo Decadence was an explicit commentary on the moral decay following the burst of the Japanese economic bubble. The 2007 "New" version continues this by focusing on the "salaryman" and corporate power dynamics.
The film follows the dramatic journey of a secretary (Hirasawa) who is introduced to the world of BDSM by her boss. The story tracks her transformation as she becomes his personal slave, exploring the deep, erotic reaches of the Tokyo underground through a series of "wild side" experimentations.
