Former pinku eiga director Hiroki Ryuichi
spins this farcical tale, adapted from an autobiographical novel
by Kihachi Dan, about a hack writer's desperate attempts to overcome
writers block . Kurosaki (Ren Osugi) used to dream about dedicating
his life to Art, but has since dedicated his life to crass commercialism
by cranking out S&M porno for a low rent publisher. Feeling
that this creative well has run dry, he realizes that he needs some
real time experience to get his writing to flow once again. He turns
to his eager-to-please assistant Kawada (Jun Murakami) who hires
a nubile lass named Kyoko (Eri Yamazaki) to strike bound poses in
the writer's living room. Meanwhile, Kurosaki's wife Shizuko (Yoko
Hoshi) has surprisingly taken a dim view of this practice, and out
of revenge seduces a hunky American English teacher (William Brian
Churchill) -- and then, as if to add insult to injury, she seduces
Kawada. This film was screened at the 2000 Vancouver International
Film Festival.
