DVD Reviews of Flower and Snake II
DVD Review: Loincloth Of Lady Samurai
Summary: 5 Stars
The story became interesting though a scene that was more sadistic than the former work decreased.
Especially, the scene where Aya Sugimoto impersonates it to woman's samurai in the scene of the fantasy is wonderful.
She loses a fight, is captured by the enemy, and killed in the scene.
She is made to take one's clothes off at that time, she understands the loincloth is tightened under the hakama though it is made to the crucifixion.
The loincloth that she is tightening is six-shaku loincloth that attaches the pattern of Mameshibori.
The point that is the undergarment of the neglected real samurai in a recent Samurai movie to reproduce raging neatly is epoch-making.
The appearance where the woman is tightening the loincloth is very sexy.
DVD Review: Japanese SM
Summary: 4 Stars
Flower and Snake II This is a might have been Masterpiece; The SM scenes are well executed; The eroticism very high. But the problem with this movie is that no [...] are visible; The pubic region is meticulously censored with no slip-ups; The Bondage scenes are erotic, female masturbation excellent; Brother and sister romantic sex highly erotic. To like this movie one must like Aya Sugimoto the lead masochistic Actress; She gives it her all and is a masochistic Actress on set for a strict Director too. The other problem is the SM scenes are communal rather than one-on-one. This would rate highest if they had shown the spread [...] or closer pubic region, alas. DVD Review: Maybe It's Me
Summary: 2 Stars
I always read reviews before I buy a video I am not familiar with. Maybe I'll stop doing that now. Can any of these people who gave this movie three or more stars possibly have watched the same movie I just did. Ok it's not offensive in anyway even though the S/m topic is not for everyone but neither was it informative insightful or highly erotic so what's the point.
But then again I did not like The Secretary either.
DVD Review: Aya Sugimoto rocks, Tiltilating as the first...
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw the first FLOWER AND SNAKE a week ago, and I was impressed with the lengths Aya Sugimoto, a popular pop star/model would go to make this film. I felt that I had to see the sequel, FLOWER & SNAKE 2:PARIS. I bought the dvd and saw it last night, for me, this film has a better story.
The story revolves around Shizuko(Aya Sugimoto) and her husband, Toyama Takayoshi(Jo Shishido)who is twice her age. Her husband oftentimes cannot perform in bed, thus, develops an insecurity. He seems to get his gratification in watching Shizuko in erotic pictures/situations, and believes that since he cannot provide her sexual needs, he'd rather watch her have sex with different partners, both in bondage pictures and actual situations.
The twists and turns begin when a painter gets involved in their lives. The beautiful Shizuko soon finds herself a willing participant in fulfilling not just her husband's fantasies but a slew of rich men.
Aya Sugimoto is still stunning, she's in her late 30's but still manages to keep her nice slim figure. She is quite an actress to be able to pull off this role. I liked the Deleted/making of scenes, it shows her being shocked at times with herself in the long sex scene in the film. The deleted/making of features are very good. Aya Sugimoto shows she is tough.
This film is superior to the first film in plot, but the first one pushes your buttons more. This sequel is much more about love, mixed up with wierd desire. A good film by Takashi Ishii.
The dvd from Tokyo shock is pretty good. The film I believe was intentionally shot to look a bit grainy and murky, to give the audience a certain feel of a painting. The deleted scenes were shot in regular camera and didn't appear murky.
Recommended, this is not just a film about S & M, it is very sexy and has heart.
[3.5 stars]
