sitenoise ! Moon and Cherry is a very well-acted, creative and intelligent film that takes a different look at love, sex, and relationships. The film centers on the machinations of Mayama, played by Noriko Eguchi, as a member of a university erotic literature writing club. Mayama, its only female member, is the most talented and respected of the group because she's already been published, albeit under a male pseudonym. She's had sex with all but one of the other members of the group and uses the experiences as fodder for her writings. The film kicks into gear when a younger student, Tadokoro, joins the group. He immediately impresses the male members of the group with his knowledge of female anatomy, but just as he is swimming in their praise and accolades, Mayama walks in and says "Yeah, but you're a virgin." Experienced women can sense these things and Tadokoro is busted. Thus begins the intriguing gender role reversal story that is Moon and Cherry. The deflowering scene is controlled by Eguchi with aplomb, and in a moment of directorial panache, while Mayama is performing fellatio, we see Tadokoro biting his lip to the point of drawing blood. I don't need to spell out the brilliance of that metaphor. more: <a href='http://sitenoise-atthemovies.blogspot.com/2010/07/moon-and-cherry-tsuki-to-cherry-aka.html' target='_blank'>sitenoise at the movies: Moon and Cherry ... aka Electric Button</a> Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/10 Full Review Read all reviews
