    Wichtelclub Runde 28 - Tokyo Decadence - Wichtel-Vermutung Milos

    "I've discovered that I have no talent - none whatsoever."

    A nightmarish downward spiral full of depravity, perversion and self-hatred. The long search for emotional stability, a place to belong, a way out of the loneliness around you, and sanity. And the inevitable fall into madness and insanity, while losing all hope and self-control, in a world as hopeless and lonely as your own life.

    Tokyo Decadence is full of madness.…

    Hentai Land

    Loved it!

    A little documentary gem from Shozin Fukui that, while being a very straightforward documentary, has some aspects of Fukui's unique way of filmmaking.
    But don't expect anime characters to fuck each other here. This is not about the definition of hentai that most people outside of Japan are aware of. It's about the definition of changing yourself.
    It's about a model that we follow to various body painting artists. Where we then see her getting "transformed" into something…

    Wichtelclub Runde 62 Flesh Gordon Meets the Cosmic Cheerleaders - Wichtel-Vermutung Janina

    It's hard to believe, but the second one is actually much more trash than the first. But unfortunately not necessarily better for me.

    Whereas with the first movie I still had the feeling that it took itself pretty seriously for what it is, the second one has gone full-on stupid in every aspect. The story is actually on par with the first, but everything else makes the first…

    Wichtelclub Runde 62 Flesh Gordon - Wichtel-Vermutung Janina

    An absolute delight, and I didn't even know there was such a thing. Even though it's so clearly made for me. A bunch of nonsense, a story that doesn't make much sense, terrible humor and most of all a bunch of nudity and sex.

    The movie starts off very strong, but unfortunately loses some steam in the second half. But on the whole, I can't help but love sincere trash like this.

    All I can say is that we had a good time watching this movie.

    Well, fuck. I did expect something good, but that was way beyond that.

    Where do I even start? Over two hours long and it is a real slow burner (pun intended).Even I was skeptical at the start. I didn't know nothing about the film beforehand, so I was asking myself after some time when will the movie starts to get going. Without realizing how Lee Chang-dong built his world and his characters with nearly perfection already from the beginning. The…

    Making of Love Exposure

    Realizations:

    1. Sion Sono can be a huge asshole

    2. Although Sono has created four hours of perfection, he himself thinks otherwise

    3. Sono holds his cigarettes in an interesting way

    4. Hikari is an angel

    5. I have to re-watch Love Exposure
