Moonlight Whispers

Now I may not have many things to say about Moonligh whispers as it's such surrealism film that doesn't even knows what it's is it art project is a fetish film is it a psychological horror thing ? I don't know and I don't think the writers knew either .

It's not unwatchable but for me a person who doesn't like Surrealism and such I didn't have fun watching it or even analyzing it didn't give me any fun.

Side note but Moonlight Whispers got many foot fetish scnces that's both groos and sexy ( and I say this as foot fetishist myself it's the actress tsunami got beautiful feet ) anyway that is all I have got on this film .

this film left me reeling. A simple enough film, it draws the viewer deeper and deeper into a Japanese schoolboy's masochistic obssession and the slow steady conversion of a girl into the sadistic mistress that he needs.Yet the film is not about sex or lust. It is about a passion so deep that it defines one's being. The boy is blessed with that rare honesty - he will not deny himself his passion. He risks exposure, humiliation, hatred, and worst of all, the loss of the one he loves, just to live his way. It makes one feel inadequate when one considers how much we willingly censor our own desires and passions just to 'fit in'. There are moments of exquisite pain in this film, when you can hear hearts shattering, and from these come some of the film's most beautiful moments as well. His seemingly endless devotion to her, her traumatic attempt to rationalize his desire - these are extremes that perhaps each of us have tasted to a lesser degree at some point in our lives. Here, watch them played out to the maximum. If his love is to be called perverse, then let it be so, for maybe love is too great to be normal, to intense to be sane. Performances are riveting from the two leads. Sensitive, sharp and burning with unspoken emotion. The two are infinitely desirable because they are so passionate, so afire. Sensuality and sexuality are redefined, and if you are neither sadistic or masochistic at the start of the film, you will long to be one or the other, or maybe both, by the end.

A high school teen boy and girl who both are in the Kendo club and practice together, finally realize they are attracted to each other. But after a couple of dates as they begin to get serious the girl discovers the boy is a bit of a pervert. She moves on to another boy but keeps the first around to dominate and humiliate him.

The story synopsis listed here on IMDB and elsewhere, says they get into S&M games. S&M stands for sadomasochism which includes pain and/or torture but there is none of that. Instead it's more of a Dominant and submissive. I will also mention there is no real nudity and the few sex scenes are not explicit at all. This really does not qualify as a Nikkatsu Roman Porno or even Pink Eiga.

The movie itself focuses mainly on three characters and their relationships between them. I found myself drawn in quickly. The acting is excellent. Tsumugi who plays the female lead is outstanding and contributed a lot to making this film work. You never know where the story or characters are going next which I like.

There is a couple of things towards the end of the film that are left unexplained. Maybe a scene or two was deleted or a script change. Other than that this is one of those movies you just watch and enjoy. Highly recommended.

In it's simplest form this movie is about a boy and a girl who fall in love.

While that could make a good movie this one throws in a realistic problem. The boy gets off on masochism. While many viewers may find this scary it is a realistic and common fetish. I for one thinks it is quite exciting.

But as erotic as some people might find it that's not what the movie deals with. It deals with the psychological impact of that realization.

The girl does not know how to handle that aspect of the relationship and the boy finds himself 'desturbed and perverted' Problems arise and both try to come to terms with the situation in different ways.

Whitout going too much of the story away I want to make clear this is NOT a pornographic movie. It tries to address certain more exotic aspects of sexuality in a normal, non-judgmental way. It shows us what could happen in a relationship when one or both parties has a fetish. It also shows us that having a fetish does not mean that the love for one-another is different than any other relationship. Just the way someone expresses it or experiences it is different.

All in all a very honest and heartwarming movie.

As one for years who has repressed my feelings about certain fetishes, this movie was truly liberating. I admire how the director treats the subject so maturely and the manner in which the young woman confronts her boyfriend's desire to "be her dog". For those of you that actively participate in certain fetish lifestyles, this movie is a can't-miss. And for those of you who don't, you will enjoy the complex relationship between the young man and woman and the manner in which they learn to hurdle the obstacles that stand in the way of their love.

BDSM is not just about dragon women in black leather cracking whips and the men who willingly submit. This movie truly captures the subtleties of BDSM and explores deep into the psychology of the characters to find out why they desire to act out their fantasies in such an uncommon manner. Enjoy.
