Chikan gifu: Musuko no yome to...

A most unusually themed 'pink' wherein, Ryoko Asagi puts in a great performance as she successfully convinces us that she covers for her father-in-law's long lost cow. There are wonderfully erotic sequences and some wry humour but essentially this is a movie centred around the increasing senility of the ageing small holding owner, whose son has died and his wife played by Ryoko, has hung on in there. There is some fine cinematography, illuminating the rural scenes but this is never seeming to end gloriously and indeed in the end there is much pathos and a real sense of loss and generosity of spirit. Mind you if you are looking for fleshy sex, there is plenty here, so don't be put of by the serious side. One more film that surely could only have been made in Japan.

A young woman frequently takes on the roleplay of a naked 'cow' to help her disturbed and senile father feel like his late husbandry-affection is restored to him. Lots of explicit sex - still can't fgure out if it's real or not, and basially the antithesis of the 'romance genre' that IMBD claims this film to be !

Watch it for a laugh, but don't expect anything even remotely beautiful or wholesome; depraved liberal 'arthouse' tripe !

If Grampa starts thinking you're a cow, what do you do? Well, if you're anything like, Noriko, you'll be a good cow, and wake up at 5 am every morning, strip naked, and wait patiently on all fours with the rest of the other cows for the senility stricken old man to yank on your nipples.

There was a time during the flick I was wondering if the old man was just a serious pervert, and he wasn't seeing a cow, but just saying those things to squeeze on his daughter-in law's boobies. As the story unfolds you see that his old age is indeed becoming a problem for him, and this is where the film opens your eyes to movie that's actually much deeper than previously thought. Combine it with some hot and heavy stuff and you got the makings of a very memorable pinku.

Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn was a good one. With surprisingly good sex scenes, solid direction, acting and cinematography, mixed with an intriguing story, I was kept pretty entertained. And it doesn't hurt that the film is only a tad over an hour long. Check it out if you're looking to watch something a bit more abnormal.
