TMAF-002 - Smoking Sirens: A Fetish Collection

This is more of an image video than an adult film. The actress just sits there in lingerie smoking a cigarette! I honestly don't understand why this is rated 18+; there are plenty of other image DVDs out there that are way more explicit. If there's no nudity, the least she could have done was look into the camera with a suggestive expression (I couldn't even use my imagination). The only part that passes is the Rukawa segment near the end; I'd give the rest a failing grade below 40.

I watched this because Alice Chigasaki was in it, but her scenes—makeup, hair, and direction—were all terrible. Her charm didn't come through at all. Since there are many different actresses, do they all have to smoke in the same pretentious way? I think a lighter, more casual smoking scene would have been fine; if they had just let her smoke naturally, she would have looked much smarter and prettier. The director's sense of direction is lacking; it feels like their interference actually made things worse. Many actresses smoke in outfits that are neither swimsuits nor underwear. I wish they would use better direction to make the actresses look more beautiful—like having them wear a white shirt, going topless, being completely naked in bed, or just wearing casual clothes. I think smoking in swimsuit-like lingerie is actually more unrealistic.
