Country: Japan
Directed by Koji Wakamatsu
The best film of Koji Wakamatsu, at least among those that I watched so far, 'Go go second time virgin' is a stylish low budget film that combines most of the themes that the director liked to explore in his movies: Sex and death, violence, psychological traumas, existential philosophy, politics. While most of his movies seem just exploitative of the naked woman body, brutally violent , sadistic and misogynic , in this case Wakamatsu is much more sympathetic for his characters who are solid and complex with more psychological depth and they are suffocating living in an inhuman environment. The film is nihilistic and claustrophobic as almost all the movies of Wakamatsu are : the great black and white photography , the innovative direction and the artistic angles of shooting - you can call the film as new wave or as avant garde film - make it very interesting visually and pleasant to watch
