    Lolita: Vibrator Torture

    If the still image captures your soul, what does the moving image capture? Something deeper or shallower? Disregarding the latent homosexuality in the substitution of his penis with the phallic object, both cameras in use, Sato's and his self-insert, are used to shoot a load. Photography, here, is an elegiac homage to death and eros.
    The fate of high school girls and pigs are analogous, both as beasts of burden. :(

    Came home from the function at 2:30AM and decided there was no better time to give this a go. Not even going to bother learning the directors name but mister you should give up on your dreams and never direct again.

    ★★★★★

    this actually dually reveals the way the feminine identity is erased by motherhood and Japanese disillusionment of Westernization as the Edo period came to an end. this is CAMP!!!

    Mädchen in Uniform

    ★★★★

    She compared me to the teacher in Jeunes filles en uniforme, and herself to the worshipful Manuela. The teacher had beautiful eyes, full of pity, but she was strong. Why does June want to think me strong and herself a passionate child beloved by the teacher?
