Exploitative "arty" flick
11 October 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I'm sorry, this is no "Noberu Baku" arty film most people expect it to be: amateurish (ok, it was probably made on a very low-budget string), the montage is mostly horrible, characters are more or less psychologically flat. Frankly speaking, i would call this a pretentious, and kind of disturbing, b-movie. On the ethic i heard this is supposed to be sensitive while dealing with delicate issues like child molestation and sexual abuse in general, yet actually it isn't but a quite obvious exploitative flick showing some classical Japanese s/m, that is naked bodies of women wrestling and whipping each other, and an immature yet bothersome depiction and look upon child abuse. Just little brain and little heart in this movie. To be watched only if you are interested in obscure Japanese new wave movies (i do love this period of Japanese cinema) or if you are kinky enough to be seduced by the violent Japanese imagery of humiliation and abuse. P.S.: can't they just screw like "normal" people? ;o)
