Reviews
Masterpiece by Oshima Nagisa
The thirst is real. Is this movie pornographic or art? I feel like it’s a touch of sex and art. Truly an amazing piece of art by Oshima Nagisa. The concept of senses in this movie, that is sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch, everything was represented so well. Excellent acting by Eiko Matsuda and Tatsuya Fuji, these two capture the burning passion and struggles. However, I feel the character could have had more depth. A lot of people are gonna say it’s boring and disgusting but trust me, It’s so real. I loved it so much. There is so much realism. Lust turning into violation, imperialism, rapes, and the women during the imperial period. The ending was just a wow.Was this review helpful to you?
hAD to hit that overall rating as a one!!!! MYGOSH cannot believe i just watched all that.....save urselves!!!!! there was no story line, believe that! I swear the movie was made just so the director could jack off the whole time! They probably tricked the poor girl into doing this movie so she could achieve fame. i'd rather watch im a cyborg but thats ok. matter of fact...I feel bad for rating that movie so bad. I have seen a terrible movie, AND THIS IS IT
