A runaway wife hides in a secluded inn, leading to a dramatic tale of lust and betrayal. Master director Gunji Kawasaki captures the intense eroticism between the staff and the guests in this revival series.




















They brought in two big names, Yu Kawakami and Emiko Koike, but Koike feels like a mere sidekick. Yu Kawakami's bathroom scene is a perfect fit; it's better than the bondage scenes. For Emiko Koike, the dark lighting throughout is a drawback. I think scenes in a bright outdoor setting would have been better (it's hard to see her facial expressions). I hadn't watched Koike's scenes until the end, so I hadn't rated them, but despite the dark screen, her writhing and spasms are truly that of a mature woman.
All the performers are talented actors, so I could focus on the story without any distractions. (Honorifics omitted below) In the scene where Tomoko (Yu Kawakami) is forced into a sexual encounter by the chef, Fujii (Kenta Kudo), in the bathroom, her subtle emotional shifts and inner conflict as a woman are portrayed so wellโit was incredibly arousing [Internal ejaculation]. In the rendezvous scene between Noriko (Emiko Koike), who isn't satisfied with her husband, and Fujii, I was turned on by Emiko's sultry expressions and moans [Breast exposure]. The love scene between Tomoko and Matsui (Ryoichi Sasaki), who are drawn to each other, is very realistic, sensual, and sexy [Stomach exposure]. In the final act, watching Fujii slowly torment Tomoko while she's tied to a tree... it gave me chills. I feel like I've finally found a good piece of work after a long time. Thank you (-^ใ^-)ใ
