ATID-296 - ななみ 川上奈々美

The reviews were a storm of criticism, so I hesitated, but... the pitifully flat chest on the cover (I'm a fan of flat chests, so I couldn't resist—was it edited to look more childlike?), and those sorrowful eyes. I lost to the temptation of those two things^^; The plot is hard to follow unless you use your imagination lol. Well, in short, is it a story about child abuse?

I'm a fan of Nanami-chan and bought this on the day of release, but it wasn't what I expected. I feel bad writing this as a first review, but since I see many others with the same opinion, I wanted to add my two cents. The description says, 'As time passes, Shinji begins to recover, but he starts projecting the image of his late wife onto Nanami... eventually unleashing his lewd desires.' If that's the premise, why didn't they film it that way? She could have easily portrayed the internal conflict of not wanting to hinder her father's recovery while reluctantly giving in to his demands. It's a real shame.

Nanami-chan is cute and acts well, but the story—or rather, the direction—is terrible. The crucial rape scene isn't shown properly, so I couldn't get off. The lingering, intense teasing after she's 'broken' was good, but I wish they had just filmed the rape scene normally. They didn't make the most of the actress's potential.

*As I wrote in the title, it's a work with a b*t flavor and a selection of people, but I gave it 5 stars because of Kawakami's ambitious acting. In terms of content, it is a documentary video of the sexual exploitation of his daughter by a man who lost his wife at an early age and now lives with his daughter. The videos are fragmented, lasting from a few minutes to several tens of minutes, and are arranged in different chronological order, so viewers must judge for themselves how old Nanami in the video is based on her clothing (whether she is wearing a bra or stockings), her facial expressions and gestures, and the way she speaks to her father. I think Mr. Kawakami is working very hard to differentiate his roles. Personally, I feel that this is a record from student to adolescence. Entanglements can be consensual or non-consensual. Agreed cases occur during elementary school, and non-consensual cases occur after adolescence. This is the opposite of what is called a ``fallen thing,'' and it is thought that what was once an agreement has now become a non-consensus. Although I wrote ``agreement,'' this is inaccurate, and the truth is that as a girl, I did not know that there were any other options than intercourse with my father. In other words, this work depicts the process in which a girl gradually realizes the situation she is in and what her father has done to her as she grows up (although this is not the case). Since the consensual relationship takes place in elementary school, I think the highlight of this work is Ms. Kawakami's performance as ``a girl who doesn't know what sex is, and of course has never seen or listened to AV, but who responds animalistically and instinctively to her father's caress, just because it feels good.'' She shows a very unique performance that is completely different from the so-called AV panting, and depending on how you look at it, it can even look like a sexist. Mr. Kawakami's drive and talent in creating such a ``character'' is nothing short of admirable. However, when it comes to the question of whether or not to break out, I honestly think I'll choose someone else. The non-consensual relationship occurs after adolescence, when the girl realizes the abnormal relationship between herself and her father, and her disgust towards her father and his actions becomes apparent. The connection here is painful. Chronologically, it seems like it's towards the end, so considering that, I can't finish it all the more. And the last scene. Nanami's expression at the end was impressive. Where does it fit in terms of time (it feels like a very mature expression), and how should we interpret its expression? It's difficult, but... I take it in a good way lol

*According to the introduction, it seems to be an incest film between a father and daughter, but to be honest, I get the impression that this is a self-satisfied film by the director. As mentioned in other people's reviews, unlike regular drama works, it has a style like "recorded footage". Fake documents may sound nice, but unfortunately they are not that great. To put it simply, it's an "incest drama filmed using the gonzo method." There are no captions and there are few lines, so you won't understand the story at all unless you read the introduction. Also, the actress's face is cut off in the part with a fixed camera, and the part with a handheld camera is swaying and restless. Not only does it not take advantage of the good aspects of the drama, but only the bad aspects of the gonzo filming stand out. If the aim is to make a fake document, both the actress and the actor need to have a certain level of acting ability. From that point of view, Nanami Kawakami, who played the role of the daughter, gave a natural performance and was very good, including her looks. However, the actor who plays the father is completely useless as ``a father who became mentally ill after his wife's death and became lustful for his daughter.'' He doesn't have the acting skills of a drama, nor the realism of a documentary, and he only has the sex of a so-called AV actor. However, the biggest factor in this area is the director's lack of directing ability rather than the actor's ability.
