I don't know what to say

This is basically a porno with a plot. The story is very similar to what a book by Kinky Friedman (Kill Two Birds & Get Stoned: A Novel, which has a somewhat related premise) would be like. The movie is a bit boring and too absolved with itself. Quotes are used in every other bit of dialogue and the film kinda tries to convey a message, but it gets lost in the conflicting theories Sachiko keeps "exploring" or merely stating. Plot: Sachiko, a prostitute of sorts, gets shot … more

Five Star Film, Zero Star DVD

Other reviewers did a great job describing the movie. I want to concentrate instead on the DVD itself. Wow - Palm Pictures: What is up??? A non-anamporphic DVD with barely legible subtitles? This is 2007! Shame on you. I guess I can't recommend avoiding this DVD because the film is bizarre and wonderful. It's a shame that Palm Pictures did such a terrible job with this DVD. Someone else should pick this up for release like Criterion - they know how to treat a film.

All I can say is it fails at being sexy, titillating, or delivering a clear political message. … more

[2.5]--Sachiko Hanai probably wishes she lived a glamorous life

This is something you don't see everyday. I never had seen pink films till I've seen "The Glamorous Life OF Sachiko Hanai." This is not under any circumstances a jewel but a bizarre Pink film. This is a campy, surrealistic Japanese art film laced with softcore erotica. Sachiko Hanai is probably an accomplished "pink film"; but probably not as classier as the rest. It mainly starts when Sachiko, played by Emi Kuroda , dining in a café who is then shot in the head by a North … more
