Review of Raw Summer (2005) by Derrick S — 25 Jun 2008

I'm not sure what the title means, but I'm sure it's just lost in translation. Don't be deceived by the panties on the cover or the porn star lead actress... the film actually contains no nudity.

It's more of an interesting character portrait of a Japanese man who takes obsession too far. It does that very well as we're made to sympathize and understand the character even when he makes bad choices.

However, the ending has got to go.
