CWM-085 - Kissing & Enjo Kousai: Kaori Aikawa

No way, this is great. Really great. I don't get the complaints about the fixed camera. Her skin is so fair and soft that the wide shots actually look better. It adds to the realism of the setting, too. Aikawa Kaori's languid, sex-addicted vibe feels just like a high school girl you'd see around Shibuya. It reminds me of the thrill of starting with just a kiss and ending up going all the way. It's way more exciting than knowing you're going to have sex from the start.

I don't understand why some people only give this one star. If you like Kaori Aikawa and enjoy kissing scenes, this is an irresistible work. There's no deep stuff like saliva swapping, so I wouldn't recommend it to those who prefer 'messy' kissing scenes. However, I don't get the point of the fixed camera angles. There are scenes shot by a cameraman, so the switch to a static shot feels jarring. Still, it's not enough to lower the rating.

Aikawa Kaori has been a favorite of mine lately, but unfortunately, this release was almost entirely shot with a fixed camera, making it pretty much unwatchable. No matter how low the budget is, this defeats the purpose of a solo feature. Usually, when she's not into her partner, she turns her face away during the finish (which is unprofessional, I know), but this time she actually sat up and waited with her mouth open. It could have been a much better film if they had just put more effort into the production.
