Viewing Notes

Mitsuru Meike’s The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai (2003), featuring AV idol Emi Kuroda, is definitely a curiosity piece. In a nutshell it’s a sexual sci-fi comedy but that’s really doing it a disservice. Let’s just say that it’s fucking weird and often provocative. That’s not a recommendation. Watchable one time but not something I’d revisit. Well, maybe I would someday. Classified as a pink eiga but it’s way too long. Knock off 20 minutes of the nonsense and it would fit that subgenre.
