Audience Member "Raw Summer" est l'histoire triste et touchante de Masuo Ota, esprit faible qui a seulement grandit physiquement et qui nourrit une obsession maladive envers une jeune lycéene qu'il suit partout, prend en photo et qui est l'objet de tous ses fantasmes les plus pervers, allant même jusqu'à revêtir l'uniforme de lycéenne suspendu dans sa chambre !! Dans un élan de courage, il ose l'aborder mais finit par savoir qu'elle le prend pour un vieux pervers et il se sent encore plus rejeté que jamais, c'est alors qu'il passe à l'acte dans le métro, la pelote en la menaçant d'un couteau. Malheureusement il la blesse gravement et elle se retrouve à l'hopital. Et c'est là que ça devient intéressant puisqu'il s'y retrouve également après une tentative de suicide raté ! partageant la même chambre et seulement séparé d'un mince rideau, la lycéenne joué par la super sexy Sora Aoi et Masuo vont développer une belle amitié, mais est-ce que ça durera ? C'est un film assez étrange mais très justement traité, on prend vraiment Masuo en pitié, l'acteur qui le joue est tellement convaincant qu'on a vraiment l'impression que c'est un petit pervers tout moche !! Le film est très court mais ça n'empêche en rien un développement correct des personnages mais faut dire aussi qu'il n'y en n'a pas beaucoup ! Un registre sérieux qui va plutôt bien à Sora Aoi, habituée aux productions de charme et qui prouve qu'elle peut vraiment tout jouer ! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Disturbing tale of a perverted old geezer that's obsessed with a schoolgirl he sees on a train each day. His antics reeks of desperation - he follows her around like a stalker and takes photos of her that plaster his room. Seriously this guy is sick! AV actress Aoi Sora as the schoolgirl might be pure eye candy but this movie is lame and the ending is stupid. Even the title of this movie makes no sense.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A nonsensical plot that reflects the warped and flawed reasoning of the main character. A horrible premise from the start. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I was rather unimpressed by this one. It's the only Sora Aoi movie I didn't like ... but it's also the only one of her movies that wasn't mosaic'ed. Coincidence? I think not! Definitely a story about a perverted (hentai) old man on a subway train (can't remember the expression) and gets into a little trouble. The ironic spin on what happens afterwards ... guess that's the whole point of the movie. I just didn't get the ending. Nor did I want to see it again to maybe catch some clues... and I agree with the previous post, someone was definitely lost in the translation!!! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not sure what the title means, but I'm sure it's just lost in translation. Don't be deceived by the panties on the cover or the porn star lead actress... the film actually contains no nudity. It's more of an interesting character portrait of a Japanese man who takes obsession too far. It does that very well as we're made to sympathize and understand the character even when he makes bad choices. However, the ending has got to go.
