 ELEGANT GRAPHICS FOR AN OUTA-THE-MAINSTREAM MOVIE February 20, 2008
Roy Clark (Edge of Toiyabe Nat'l Forest, NV)
Of course, it's a shocking, sexual movie. And it's unconventional sex.
Okay, a spoiler, revealed early-on: The plot spins around hermaphrodites.
Yet it's elegantly and tastefully done, more into human drives and emotions than simply sex, to create a sophisticated adult romantic melodrama. The sophisticated graphics and intelligent, believable scripting raise this movie and its topic above a film aimed only to titillate and shock. The unusual graphics create a tense aura that add to the eroticism and an other-worldly feeling.
For those interested in the genre, cruise through Japanese
films. Mostly, they're non-exploitative yet pretty hot.

I knew that this movie was going to be awkward. I really liked it. Noone will watch it with me so i watched it alone. I'm really into these kind of movies. Homosexuality and stuff. Its my thing. I think this movie would of been better if the acting was more realistic.

I am quite a fan of lovely Kumiko Takeda. I bought some of her movies without subtitles (I studied Japanese) in San Francisco's Japantown: "Double Cast", "Gurenbana"(has two Kumikos, Akiyoshi and Takeda), "Jingi 2", Mangia Mai", "Zero Woman 3" and of course "Close Your Eyes And Hold Me" which is my least favorite Kumiko movie...but nothing with her can be very bad to me. This is the only one that has her totally nude, rather than just topless. She is well-endowed for a Japanese girl with 34"/22.7"/32.4" figure at 5'2". I just received from Tokyo a DVD profile titled "Diva, Kumiko Takeda in Los Angels" (Angeles really). In "Close Your Eyes...", she is a man who dresses as a woman. I can hardly believe that the most beautiful living woman is a man. She wears a blonde wig and sings at a hermaphrodite nightclub. (She has success as model- actress-singer, so no one must sing for her.) She seduces both the hero and his fiancee. This film won some international awards, but I think Kumiko's other movies deserve that more. I do like to see Kumiko in anything, but I wouldn't own this movie if a lesser lady was the star.

.......I felt kinda dirty or something after watching this. I do give this film 2 stars simply for what could have been. The plot was decent enough(see previous reviews) and the movie explored very basic human emotions and fears such as love, betrayal and lonliness. Unfortunately, all this goes by the wayside in favor of lots of pretty explicit sex scenes....Amane and Hanabusa, Juri and Hanabusa, Juri and Amane, Hanabusa, Juri and friend, etc. If you like lots of homosexual sex scenes then this is probably right up your.....alley. Definitely not for the traditional minded.

This story is basically about Amane after having sexual relationship with Hanabusa(whom was hit by car which Amane drive on the highway) where he later lost interest of his girlfriend, Juri. She later find Hanabusa and was lured into having sexual relationship with her and later with Amane's friend either. I am not going to tell the full story as this made the movie less interesting to find out. There are a few sex scenes which includes woman to woman, woman having sex with man and two counts of sex between man and woman in this movie. Recommended purchase to those whom like this genre of movie....*these erotic movies are usually done by hooker and pimps but they did a paste of these people with actress. This information is also for Singaporeans whom are deciding whether to embark on the buying and watching spree of these erotic movies.
