Audience Member Gekkô no sasayaki was painfully intense that I nearly bit a lip off. The ending was sweet, if you got pass the whole 'who has the pants' in the relationship. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member [b][u]Sasayaki (Moonlight Whispers):[/u][/b] [img]http://www.cinescene.com/howard/images/whispers.jpg[/img] A kinky, slow-paced drama. With some better music and tighter editing, it would have made a great short film. However, it seems like a vague thought turned into a full-length feature. Doesn't really work. I also rented [b]Last Life in the Universe[/b]. Oh, and the legendary Pup offered to send me [b]Evil Dead Trap 2[/b], and [b]In My Skin[/b]! I'm very happy about that. :D Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member One of those "only from Japan" psycho-sexual dramas which explores adult themes of desire, domination, and twisted mind-fuck games and perversion ... acted out by teenagers. No comment on this peculiar film tradition. This is Akihiko Shiota's directorial debut and probably his strongest film. The focus is clear and concise. The powerful but flawed Harmful Insect would have benefited from such focus. It was the first one of his films I had seen and it pissed me off for days. Then I saw Canary and wasn't sure what to think. There wasn't much new to it and it seemed less well done. Now that I've seen Moonlight Whispers I have to go back and watch those two films again, and I will be seeking out all of his films. Funny how that works. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A romance movie with a difference as two teenagers embark on a sado masochistic relationship. This is quite interesting in that it delves into the premise that not all relationships are normal. Perverse and twisted it may be but don't let that put you off from watching. Give it a go. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Sadistic Japanese schoolgirl? I'll take two. Pretty flawless apart from the goofy pop song that plays over the end. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Ahh highschool courtship... remember your first kiss? your first girlfriend? the first time you held hands in the library? Remember breaking into her gym locker to get that first whiff of her soiled underwear and suddenly getting this inexplicable fetishistic urge to be her lap dog?...Wait, What? Huh?... I thought this was supposed to be a Brittney Spears movie? Moonlight Whispers reaches far beyond the conventions of the romantic teen genre to explore themes ranging from S&M, eroticism, and the inherent dysfunctions of co-dependent relationships. Quite touching at times, a little over-stated at others. But the film is relentless and stays clear of any formulaic devices. Find it. Watch it.
