aka and is a 1990 Japanese pink film directed by Hisayasu Satà Â.
Three social outcasts who live near the seaside interact with each other in increasingly disturbing ways. The trio of characters are a woman who has killed her sister, a man who enjoys necrophilia, and a female amnesiac. The first woman engages in sadistic pursuits such as capturing young women at the beach to force them to engage in sexual activities, including copulation with a horse and a dog.
Usually concerned with the alienation of modern urban life, Horse and Woman and Dog was the first of director Satà Â's films to have a non-urban setting, though his dark and disturbing style remained. Satà  originally named the film Poaching By The Water, but Shintà Âhà  Eiga, the distributing company, chose to promote the scenes of bestiality in advertising, and gave it the more specific title Horse and Woman and Dog. Such renaming by studios is common in the pink film industry. Kanako Kishi's sex scenes with animals created a good deal of controversy and resultant publicity. Shintà Âhà  Eiga's strategy paid off, and the film became a scandalous success, and, according to the studio's website, one of the top hits in Shintà Âhà Â's history.
In his Behind the Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema, Jasper Sharp singles out the opening scene of Horse and Woman and Dog as an example of Satà Â's technique for placing the audience at an uncomfortable position as viewers of his films. The sadistic woman is applying make-up to her face while looking into the mirror of a compact. As the sounds of a young girl's screams become more audible, the woman tilts the mirror so that her face is looking directly into the audience. Sunglasses prevent the audience from fully understanding how it is to interpret the woman's gaze. In their Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films, the Weissers give Horse Woman and Dog a qualifiedâÂÂdue to the extreme nature of the filmâÂÂrating of three out of four stars. The success of Horse and Woman and Dog led Satà  to film a second bestiality-themed film the following year, Lady of the Stable (aka WAVE, 1991).
Horse and Woman and Dog was released theatrically in May 1990. It was released to home video in the VHS format in 1999. On November 11, 2003, it was re-released under the title Horse and Dog and Lady. On July 14, 2008, Shintà Âhà  Eiga made the film available through their online AV on Demand service at XCity.
