That would be a just "reward".

I particularly loved the scene near the end, where the "he and she" (in the best PC tradion, howbout it?) perpetrators are suspended from the tree on ropes, and merciless blows are beind administered by some individuals (conservatives, no doubt?) with bamboo sticks... brings the toughts of some possibilities and tears to my watery eyes...

Anyway, the movie is not porn. The original "Senses" arguably was. Here we have somethng that is somewhat tedious, somewhat Zen, but mostly an OK movie for the Japanese movies lovers.

I think there ARE far better Japanese films to choose from, though. I woud rate it a couple notches below the Irezumi, and much below Tampopo.

So all in all, here is my ambivalent recommendation, you can do whole lot worse (do I hear "8mm"?).

So - no dog food for me this week...
