This movie reminds me The two movies "Bizita Q" that I have watched and introduced in the bo are all very weird family ethics erotic movies
June Snake, the movie has no color, some people say it is black and white, I think it should be gray and blue. In June, the rainy season, it rained non-stop. The foreshadowing at the beginning of the movie is briefly introduced. The main characters are three people, wife Rinko Tatsumi played by Asuka Kurosawa, husband Shigehiko played by Yuji Kohtari, and photographer Iguchi played by director Shinya Tsukamoto. The wife and husband are typical Japanese office workers. His wife, Rinko, works in the psychological counseling room of a hospital, while her husband is a workaholic with cleanliness. One day, Rinko received an anonymous letter with "Your Husband's Secret" written on the envelope, but when she curiously opened the envelope, she was surprised to find that it contained all pictures of herself masturbating. Her life is being watched! Subsequently, Rinko began to receive calls from a strange man who claimed to have gotten Rinko's help to get out of the predicament of trying to commit suicide. He's not extorting money from Rinko, his only request is for Rinko to do what she wants. The odd request made Rinko "call the police." But in the end, Rinko gave up.
The photographer has always emphasized that rinko, who is a psychological consultant, told him that you can’t do it because you think you can’t do it. No one can stop you from fulfilling your heart’s desire. You should do what you want to do. He told him in turn She, why don't you do what you want to do too! Don't care about other people's eyes, do what you want to do! Although it seems that what he coerced rinko to do is too much, it is what rinko desires in his heart, the catharsis of his sexual desire. What amazes me the most is that the photographer's idea coincides with me, it's too exciting, he called Rinko to take the subway by remote control, sat at the 5th station to go to the toilet, changed into the miniskirts that he usually wears when masturbating, and can't wear underwear. , The skirt was extremely short, only reaching the bottom of her thighs, and she wore a pair of sunglasses to cover up the shame and embarrassment of being noticed. She has to wear such a short skirt to go to a department store, and then go to an adult product store to buy a female masturbator. She is a professional woman with a relatively stable job and a certain social status. Although she has a strong sexual desire in her heart, social ethics Her own sense of shame prevented her from doing such a bold and "shameless" thing. She lingered in the adult store for a long time, if she didn't want to get back her photos and film, she was afraid that her immoral side would be discovered by the public like her husband, so she would have to do such a risky thing. She shivered and bought a masturbator in an adult shop that only had male customers. When she thought it was all over, the photographer had a new trick, ha, iguchi asked rinko to put the masturbator in her lower body and put the remote control outside the toilet, and then walked to the vegetable market to buy cucumbers, eggplants and bananas, rinko yelling at me to kill you! iguchi asked her to buy one, haha. She was sweating profusely walking in the rain, when the boss complained impatiently that it was all packaged, but now you let me take it apart and sell it. At this time, rinko screamed and almost fell, and iguchi was turning on the remote control, haha, and shook again, stunned the boss. Satisfied, iguchi ended the first remote-controlled crime.
Generally speaking, there is a problem with the life between rinko and shigehiko, mainly because there is no sex between them. The husband is obsessed with cleanliness. He doesn't even share a bed with his wife, but sleeps on a recliner every day, but his wife actually acquiesces to his behavior, saying nothing, not even complaining. Lunzi was suffering from breast cancer, but her husband kept asking if she had to cut it off. It seemed that she didn't want to make her body ugly. After she acted according to the photographer's arrangement, she saw that she was ill, and she in turn arranged for the photographer to take pictures of herself, while her husband followed her. She took the subway in the public toilet and changed into a short skirt and strapless dress and put on makeup. , walked out of the toilet with a confident face, walked into the department store and chatted and laughed with the people around, and then in a deserted alley, watching the people coming and going at the intersection, holding a remote control in his hand, masturbating, Then came to an abandoned open space, the photographer rushed over in the car, sat in the car and took pictures of her, she was undressing while masturbating, her husband was hiding and peeping, she was standing naked in the rain, wide open , even her husband couldn't help but start masturbating. At the end of the film, the photographer said when he beat his husband, "I heard that many nuns have breast cancer, which is caused by abstinence. I want to ask you, is Rinko Tatsumi a nun?!" At the end of the film, the photographer saw that It doesn't exist at all, it's all Lunzi's own tricks, reality and fantasy alternate. The ending is similar to bizita q, returning to the family, and the two finally have sex.
Although the film's focus is not on sexual fantasies, to borrow one person's seemingly professional commentary, the June Snake contains a revolutionary force and attempts to remove the movement of desire from the socially imposed forms of the hierarchy and the confinement of ordinary economic activity. Liberated, it wants to break the subject repressed in desire and create a new subject of desire in this post-modern post-industrial society. However, I would like to talk about sexual fantasies and sexual behavior. Let's talk about it in the next article.
