JUE-017 - A widow living diligently in post-Showa Japan. The sexuality of a sad woman tormented by men in a rural village. A relationship with a clumsy postman and an overbearing brother-in-law. Shoda Senri, a comrade of her husband during the war.

They really nailed that Showa-era vibe. The men swarming around the widow, the sleaziness… it was good. But the widow who seemed to be enjoying herself suddenly yelling "Get me out of here!" and then running off with a soldier delivering bad news felt a bit disjointed.

She looks great in luxurious outfits, of course, but this simple, post-war rural clothing really brings out Chi Sato Shoda's charm. I sometimes get the urge to watch old dramas like this, so I'm glad I did. This work has a certain depth to it.

This is the kind of work that could become Chi Sato Shoda's masterpiece. The colors are great and it's a masterpiece packed with eroticism. I could really feel Chi Sato Shoda's charm. I'd love to see a documentary-style Chi Sato Shoda work. Definitely a keeper!
