Not sure how I feel about this movie... the opening scene is of a dead woman on top of her husband - dying after reaching orgasm during sex - giving her husband "one last gift" (I won't say more as not to ruin the film)... I feel like the director made three movies and just put them into one (1. creepy pervy film (think Gozu), 2. funny, wholesome film (think Sweet Bean), 3. sad, terminal illness romance film (think A Walk to Remember). However, I mostly got weird Pet Sematary vibes from this film... Basically, the main character, Tetsuo works at a sex doll factory creating sex dolls. He doesn't have much of a personality - maybe just wimpy and passive but also dutiful. The main character, Sonoko is the "ideal" Japanese wife - passive, submissive, ready to serve her husband whenever, cooks the best food, waits for him all night, doesn't speak much (every otaku/white-guy-obsessed-with-Japanese-culture's dream girl)... she's basically a living sex doll - alive only to be used to "help" others. There are so weird "hidden cam-style" scenes in this movie. Eg., two sex doll workers pretend to be prosthetics makers so they can make a mold of Sonoko's breasts, but only talking about groping her the entire time... there is an over emphasis on breasts in this movie... (creepy mommy issues vibes). At the end of the movie, Tetsuo seems like he's going to say something profound about his wife and says "people didn't know my wife's secret, which only I knew.. my wife was nice and horny." WTF??
I will not watch again.
