I like Japanese period movies (think Zatoichi film series) and I was not expecting much from this endeavor and it did disappoint on that end. With the opening scene you pretty much know this is as low budget as you can get without being a victim of a snuff film. At first, what with the low budget and the Hancock fabric rejects that stand in for "costumes", bad acting and it's emphasis on the history of Christianity in Japan, that it was a charismatic Christian Japanese produced movie for teen audiences. But then the bad guy takes off the bad girls top and they start dry humping. Well, then you know where you are on the cinematic scale of bad soft core porn. This is a very odd movie even for soft porn, for example the female hero of the story is recounting a rape scene when she was younger and it starts off with the bad guy trying to kneed her breasts like they were dough balls (very strange) and then proceeds to go "down under" all the while the poor girl is crying her eyes out. I'm not sure, but I don't think that rapists generally give oral copulation to their victims (but I could be wrong). Since, this was a porn type movie I was not under the impression that a rape scene is titillating to men, at least non-perverted men. Anyway, not being an afficiado of this sort of thing I give it two stars. One more than it deserves, but an extra for effort.
