Tokyo Decadence

Rating:
Summary: the best s&m movie ever made
Review: this is not pornography, but it is erotic. A day in the life of an S&M prostitute in Tokyo. Hard to describe, especially if you haven't been in Japan. Just see it and you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Very apt title!
Review: This isn't really a "movie" in the sense that there really isn't a plot, just a series of episodes as we follow a 22 year old japanese woman through her experiences as a sex worker for a high priced call girl service in Tokyo. Our heroine seems SO naive and innocent. She states that the most important thing that she has learned in life is that she has absolutely no talent whatsoever. All of her professional activities take place in expensive hotel rooms with wealthy clients. All of the men clients have kinky and unusual desires, to say the least, and the women aren't much better. Her co-workers include: her girlfriend who seems normal, a male transvestite, and an extremely fat girl. They each presumably specialize in serving clients with various unusual sexual desires. There are, admittedly, aspects of this movie that I don't understand, such as there are frequently television news reports in the background about various aspects of japanese contemporary society. At one point, she teams up with an older, more experienced young woman who has become very wealthy in the sex business, who spends a fortune on drugs, and whose dream was to become a professional singer. Later, our heroine, while high on drugs, gets lost in a children's park and befriends an older woman, who used to be a well known professional singer, but is now somewhat deranged, and who serenades her with an Irish lulaby!? At one point our heroine consults with a fortune teller who tells her to put a telephone book under her TV, to avoid art museums, and to wear a ring with a pink stone. What is that all about? I don't know.

Summary: A big letdown if you want something hot
Review: This Japanese movie revolves around a Tokyo callgirl who, not surprisingly, keeps running into weirdos. If you are looking for something to turn you on late at night, this may not do the trick, as it doesn't really have any good scenes -- I guess the beginning scene was probably the best, followed by the S&M one with the lady in heavy makeup. If you want a good storyline, you shouldn't even be looking at this video! I wouldn't say this one sucks, it's just not very satisfying, if you know what I mean.

Summary: Histoire d'O of the 90's
Review: This movie gives an insight in the world of bdsm prostitution in japan, and shows various aspects of the life and work of a young bdsm prostitute, a hopeless shy romantic girl. Sex (in various forms) and a lot of drugs (esp. cocaine) are a recurrent theme in this movie, though this is not what the movie is about. If you're looking for plain vanilla erotic entertainment, forget it. This movie has a much deeper meaning. But besides that, some scenes ~are~ very erotic, if you are into bdsm.

Summary: One of the most erotic movies made
Review: This movie is stylish, intriguing, eminently watchable -- and polymorphously perverse. It depicts just about every kink in the book (autoerotic strangulation, urine drinking)as well as some that may not be in the book (a memorable one ingeniously calls for a vibrator and masking tape.) Its eroticism, unlike that of most movies outside the gynecological genre, is very effective indeed.

Summary: There's a real meaning here . . .
Review: This movie isn't about a hooker, or S & M, though on the surface it seems like it is. Think about the name. Tokyo Decadence. Its about the 1980s and the changes in Japan during that time because of the economic boom. Its about fantasy. Its about what happens when you get "wealth without pride". The clash of the traditional and the modern producing a lost generation. OK, so its not the "best" movie ever, but if you put a little thought into it before you see it, you will get much more out of it. I really liked it though it may not be the most popular of movies. The movie was based on a book . . . so give it some slack.

Summary: Zero stars really
Review: This pointless movie is not merely non-erotic but frequently disgusting. Much Ado about Nothing would have been a better title.
