Directors: Richard Glatzer and Wash West
Producers: Victoria Robinson and John Sylla
Screenplay by: Wash West
Starring: Scott Gurney, Michael Cunio, Roxanne Day, Taylor Negron, Richard Riehle, and Deborah Harry
At first, I thought it was just all about sex. It surprised me, because this film has depth. If you want to know what happens behind the pornographic lens, watch this film.

Currently Reading: Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984)
A young woman in love with a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing; one of his mistress and her humbly faithful lover—these are the two couples whose story is told in this masterful novel, Kundera’s first since The Book of Laughter and Forgetting. In a world in which lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and by fortuitous events, a world in which everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence, we feel “the unbearable lightness of being” not only as the consequence of our private actions, but also in the public sphere, and the two inevitably intertwine.
One-Second Film Review: Takeshi Yokoi’s Takumi-kun Series: Pure (2010)
Director: Takeshi Yokoi
Producers: Takeshi Katayama, Kazushi Miki and Mika Nakamura
Screenplay by: Hiroko Kanasugi (based on a manga by Shinobu Goto)
Starring: Ryoma Baba, Naito Taiki, Hamao Kyosuke, Daisuke Watanabe, Takiguchi Yukihiro, Mitsuya Ryou, Yutaka Kobayashi, and Hirose Yusuke
I find this the best among all five films of the Takumi-Kun Series. The weird thing is, this film concentrates on two other relationships and not on the Gii/Takumi story. Moreover, Takumi and Gii are just supporting characters here.
