Horse and Woman and Dog (馬と女と犬, Uma to Onna to Inu) aka Horse and Dog and Lady (馬と犬と貴婦人, Uma to Inu to Kifujin) and Poaching by the Water or Poaching by the Water's Edge (密猟の汀, Mitsuryō no Migiwa) is a 1990 Japanese pink film directed by Hisayasu Satō.
[2][3] Usually concerned with the alienation of modern urban life, Horse and Woman and Dog was the first of director Satō's films to have a non-urban setting, though his dark and disturbing style remained.
[4] Satō originally named the film Poaching By The Water, but Shintōhō 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.
[3][7] 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 Satō's technique for placing the audience at an uncomfortable position as viewers of his films.
[8] In their Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: The Sex Films, the Weissers give Horse Woman and Dog a qualified—due to the extreme nature of the film—rating of three out of four stars.
