タイムアバンチュール 絶頂5秒前 Review

タイムアバンチュール 絶頂5秒前 translates to "Time Aventure 5 Seconds Before The Climax." Directed by Yojiro Takita. Released in 1986. Part of the Nikkatsu Meisaku Roman Series. Runtime: 76 minutes.

The story revolves around a woman who is transported through time from 1986 to 2001, where she eventually finds her future self and lover. Note: this film is in Japanese. There are no English subtitles on the Geneon DVD release. Story Grade: B+.

This movie was shot on film. Medium Grade: A-.

Real locations were used throughout the film including a number of outdoor locations. The woman's future lover's office was certainly a set and the laboratory with the time machine looked ridiculous (a ship's wheel?). The zeppelin and moon also looked fake as did the Shibuya Station subway entrance. Set Design Grade: B.

The sex scenes were brief. This is a softcore feature, so there are no images of genitalia. Some of the shot set-ups got repetitive with the men rubbing pussy through panties. Sexual Performances Grade: B-.

Surprisingly, there are with speaking roles. (They are not involved in the sex scenes.) There was some overacting, which was undoubtedly intentional. Acting Grade: B.

A hat with the Puma brand logo was used. Costumes were appropriate and the make-up looked decent. Wardrobe/Make-up Grade: A-.

One of the sex scenes was a tad dark, most likely to obscure the massaging of an anus. Otherwise there weren't any instances of distracting lighting. Lighting Grade: A-.

The music score was pretty good and wasn't overbearing. No sound issues. Sound Grade: B+.

In a couple of instances, panties were worn in one shot, and then in the next were suddenly gone. This was undoubtedly done in order to escape having to blur the vagina, but it still was noticed. Directing Grade: B+.

Despite a lack of understanding of the Japanese language, this film was nevertheless entertaining. Some thought was put into what 2001 presumably would look like. There were video calls and typewriters? Artistic Merit Grade: B.

Overall Grade: B+.

Note: the director of this film, Yojiro Takita, would go on to make the film "Departures" (Okuribito), which won the Academy Award for best foreign language film in 2009.
