An Eye For An Eye And A Hole For A Hole (Japanese)

I am not sure how seriously I am supposed to tae this film. Probably made as a drama, the way the narrative flew and the amount of sex scenes involved, it felt more of a sex comedy spoof on sort of gangster films. I couldn't find much online to read some background on the film and what was the intention behind it, so I am just gonna put my thoughts. Once you stop taking the film seriously and think its more a silly comedy, the film suddenly wasn't that bad given its just about an hour long.

Its about two rival gangs Kato and Sawaki. Sawaki gang leader has taken over a hospital as a front for casino. He has the backing of a local politician. Together they abuse young boys and fuck them. Sawaki's ball were cut by Kato's man Kenji who is just returning from jail after 10 years. Meanwhile, Sawaki had recruited a guy named Ikeyama to kill Kato, but Ikeyama used to be Kenji's lover in jail. When Kato gets killed, Sawaki doesn't't stop here and ends up killing the rest of the family also. The film ends with lovers Kenji and Ikeyama taking revenge over Sawaki.

Even though the story is simple and sorta straight forward, there are too many characters in the film that take the story forward. Interestingly, proper explanations are given for every action that an individual takes and viewers are nit taken for granted, except that the film overall cannot be taken seriously. There are three major, extremely elaborate sex scenes including love making, threesome, orgy, forced etc. There can only be rone reason for such elaborate sevens and thats to excite audience. Having said that, this is a Japanese film so you don't dee the penis but everything else is at display and nothing is left to your imagination. The story runs at a very fast pace and it seems to be slowed down only the se scenes come which take their own sweet time. Acting by principal actors is all good. The film maybe silly but at no point does it feel goofy or anything. I am slight embarrassed to admit but I actually did have a good time watching this film. Its the kind where you don't have to use your brain at all. Just watch, smile and enjoy because you know what's this one gonna be all about. Expect no histrionics, just some good faces and bodies, lot of sex scenes and also a decent plot. You may not remember the film at all after you have finished watching it, but hey how many of those do I remember anyway! (5/10)

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin...

Sei no Gekiyaku (Japanese) [Dangerous Drugs of Sex]

Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane. It is really hard to describe the genre of this film in one word. Its important not that the film has some really disturbing scenes so if you go into seeing this film, please proceed with caution. Although any sexual non-consensual activity is not ok, this film has its won strange way of showing that suicide is not the only solution to all life's problems. Makoto is a regular office goer, who just finds out that his girlfriend is probably cheating on him. ON top of it, his parents sudden death coming back from a trip that he forced them to take, he gets completely dejected and decides to commit suicide.

One Summer Night (Korean)

I really wanted to like this film but for non native speakers, these movie leaves a lot to be understood and the way scenes were unfolding in front of me, I wasn't sure many times what was really going on. The story had potential button getting any back story on any of the characters limited my ability to empathize with any of these actors. Film starts with two North Korea military guys Yong Joon and Jae Sung having sex and they are caught red handed and they run. Three years later we see Yong Joon in Seoul leading a very mundane and poor life. He has a boyfriend Tae-Kyu, who is a weird guy. He is carefree, doesn't do any work and is completely emotional and financially dependent on Young Joon. In fact, even Yong Joon will go to any lengths to protect him , fend for him and taking care of him to the extent of even taking up prostitution. Suddenly one day Jae Sung appears in their life again. His motivation is not clear but it is obvious he wants Yong Joon back in his life, who ...
