I Love It from Behind

This Japanese "pink" movie has a sexy but ridiculous premise involving a young girl who is trying to collect 100 "penis prints" (don't ask) from her sexual partners before her arranged marriage. Her "prey" is not famous celebrities or even good-looking or well-endowed guys, but up-and-coming business executives (only in Japan!). She of course has various misadventures. One guy doesn't wait for her to wipe the ink off before excitedly having sex with her. Another guy gives her a "wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am" in a dressing room before she can even get out her paper and ink blotter. The most ridiculous encounter involves a guy who has been "training" to have sex for 55 hours straight (beating my personal record by 54 hours and 45 minutes). Since she is trying to finish collecting 100 prints during a brief trip to Tokyo, you'd think this would at least slow her down a lot! Anyway the ending is quite funny and ironic. There is also a subplot where the ambitiously horny heroine meets a sexy lesbian couple who are plotting to get revenge on another vile male executive who tied up and, uh, shaved one of them.

This movie is a bit unusual among "pink" films in its nascent feminism. This plot wouldn't have been out of place in a Western sex film, but Japanese women were rarely portrayed as being this sexually aggressive back in 1981 (they were much more likely to be hapless rape victims). The fairly positive portrayal of lesbianism and female-on-male revenge and abuse plot are also different and refreshing. The lead Junko Ashanina is a definite asset to this movie, and she shows off her NICEST "asset" right in the opening scene when she bends over to get in a taxi while wearing a short skirt. Between that and the title, I'm surprised more of her paramours in the movie didn't end up giving it to her "from behind". This is pretty sexy and definitely worth watching for those who might prefer their "pink" fare less rough and more feminist.

The story is around three young women. One has come to Tokyo to finish getting 100 ink prints of men's penises before she enters an arranged marriage back in Sapporo. Her friend she is staying with, had been a lesbian ever since a man enjoyed some fetishes with her that since left her with hives from a man's touch and seeks to be cured of the affliction. The third is the friend's lesbian roommate who being left out is learning to enjoy self-pleasure.

This movie's title may have you conjure up ideas but you'd be mistaken. You will have to watch to find out what the title means! There are serious thought provoking ideas behind each major character, tho a lot of the story is played for laughs. Yes I laughed out loud a few times. The rest is just light humor.

The acting by the female leads is very good to excellent. Even though the movie is at times divided up to the three characters, the direction and editing make it all seamless.

This is a Pink Eiga film so there is nudity and several sex scenes. Nothing very explicit. The sex scenes are definitely part of the story and important to the scenes but not for the sex itself. This is not to be watched for the sex or nudity.

I really enjoyed this movie. Not perfect but definitely enjoyable. An example of how Pink Eiga can be an excellent film. Highly recommended.

The story is not bad. However, they did not make enough effort to make it as good as they could. After all, we are here because of sex scenes and we always expect a lot of it. Especialy when the story is not interesting enough. However, sex scenes are what Japanese always do, the weakest when they seems to be the best. Always censored,to much covered...there is no meny differences between this "erotic" movie and some ordinary movie with sex scenes.
