In Pitfall(Teshigahara: 1962), the middle-aged owner of a sweet shop (Sumie
Sasaki), who is trapped in an almost deserted town as she waits for news
from her lover, is violently raped by a policeman (Hideo Kanze). While she
protests to begin with, she soon begins to participate actively in her rape, as if
her violation had liberated suppressed desires.
