RBD-156 - Father stays in front of me - Mami Magokoro

As a cinematic piece, it might be well-made. If you view it as a V-cinema starring Minoru Makoto, it's actually quite good. There are two rape scenes, but both are depicted as 'acts of sexual violence that strip away human dignity.' Honestly, even FA Pro's drama-focused works feel more like actual AVs than this. I feel like the only people who would get turned on by this are actual rapists or domestic abusers.

The theme is deep and heavy, so it's inevitably dark. Regardless of the story's quality, it's structured like a serious drama. Just because it has adult scenes doesn't mean it should be called an AV. It touches on themes like love-hate relationships with family, loneliness, and sex between madness and daily life, so as others have noted, it's not the kind of film you watch just to get off and feel refreshed. However, Minori-chan's performance, including her psychological portrayal, is truly outstanding. That alone makes it worth watching. I wish she would appear in more serious romance dramas; sometimes it feels like she's being forced to play a submissive role. Personally, just seeing her passionate acting and her beautiful feet (which I think are top-tier among AV actresses) made it a high-rated experience for me.

It feels more like a well-made V-Cinema than an AV. The actress's acting is simply incredible. The scenario is quite elaborate, keeping the twist that the father was actually dead and Mao was hallucinating hidden from the viewer until halfway through. If you're expecting a typical ATA production, you'll be disappointed. The cigarette 'branding' scene was painful to watch, and while Ryuichi Saito's appearance makes sense in the context of the story, it felt out of place when he first showed up. It's also questionable that the boyfriend didn't protect Mao until the end and just handed her over to Saito. It’s not a happy ending, there’s no real conclusion, and it just leaves you feeling heavy with the darkness of mental illness and the 'violence' that is two sides of the same coin as 'family love'.

The drama is so heavy that the scenes don't leave much of an impression. The scenes themselves felt pretty awful (which is expected since it's rape)... If you're asking if I'd use this... I don't think I would.

In fact, director Norihiro Takeuchi previously filmed a story about a daughter mentally broken by her father's rape in the 2007 film 'Secret of a College Student: Immoral Creampie Incest,' starring Hina Otsuka. For this 140-minute epic, he cast the talented Mi Makoto. He brought back Kyoko Nakamura as the mother to depict domestic violence, while Tatsuro Hibino takes on the father role—replacing Ryuichi Saito, who appeared in the previous film and now plays an agent from a talent agency. While the amount of sexual content is clearly sparse given the long runtime, the director's focus was on 'violence'—including verbal abuse and psychological torment—rather than just the physical act of sex. Hibino's quiet, menacing rape and Saito's intense, aggressive rape each showcase their unique styles, and Mi Makoto delivers a compelling performance that matches their intensity, making the film well worth watching. You can also hear Mi Makoto play the violin, a skill she likely learned in her childhood.
