Review:<\/p>\n

Supposedly the 8th of 11 entries in Nikkatsu\u2019s Female Teacher<\/strong> franchise (1973-1982), Dirty Afternoon<\/strong> is another peculiar amalgam of porn, drama, and that netherworld of Wrongness often present in the studio\u2019s adult film output, and like some of the early seventies productions in Impulse Pictures\u2019 Nikkatsu Roman Porno series, the roots of the formerly legit studio still run through the veins of this ostensibly hardcore hybrid.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tough to use the term \u2018performers\u2019 when its clear there\u2019s a higher level of acting and dialogue in some of these Nikkatsu offerings, and while director Kichitaro Negishi isn\u2019t a grand visual stylist, his integration of adult material doesn\u2019t jar the core drama of a woman (the beautiful Yuki Kazamatsuri) who seeks to make amends to the man whom she once fingered as her rapist while teaching a class in the mountains.<\/p>\n

When memories of the long-buried trauma flood back, her relationship with an otherwise decent partner falls apart because he\u2019s unwilling to support her difficulties \u2013 a situation that begins when an ex-student (Angel Guts<\/strong>\u2019 Yuusuke Koike) calls the teacher from jail after being arrested for pimping herself to older men.<\/p>\n

Director Negish, who subversively emphasizes the inherent ugliness and brutality of the rape instead of following the studio\u2019s preference for full eroticization, also focuses on the increasingly common problems of both women as the teacher\u2019s hunger for more intense sex directs her to the kind of anonymous, unfulfilled dalliances that have plagued the student ever since her father was arrested – an event that blemished the family name, and ruined her relationship with an older sister (Ayako Ohta), and their mother who gives sex for discounts at her place of employment.<\/p>\n

Dirty Afternoon<\/strong> swerves into Wrongness when the teacher, the \u2018innocent\u2019 rapist, and his daughter engage in bad behaviour on a protracted vacation. Their weekend trip ultimately enables the settling of past wrongs, satisfies seething hunger, and magically reigns in the daughter\u2019s waywardness. Negishi also engages in parallel edits as one activity is counter-balanced by another in the finale, and although each party ends up in \u2018a better place,’ it\u2019s still a demented story that feigns meaning when the ultimate purpose is titillation from a steady round of hotel and beroom trysts.<\/p>\n

Some of the sex scenes are fogged and blocked \u2013 suggesting hardcore content, if not simulated material that contained taboo views of the actors\u2019 naughty bits \u2013 but the straight dramatic segments were shot at real locations, as was the finale which features a substantive group of happy-go-lucky, geriatric extras who may or may not have known they were part of a smut film.<\/p>\n

Kazamatsuri gives her familiar genre archetype an unusual level of depth through a solid dramatic performance (her dialogue scenes with the ex-boyfriend are particularly strong), and she pretty much sells the film as it moves from adult to Wrong content, especially in the ludicrous beachside entanglement which brings peace to both victim (the teacher) and accused rapist (the father). Add a score consisting of songs with lyrics complimentary to the film\u2019s conflicts, and Dirty Afternoon<\/strong> almost works as a genuine adult \/ drama hybrid – \u00a0arguably the kind of film some Hollywood filmmakers have toyed with making, but knew full well any effort would yield career suicide.<\/p>\n

Impulse\u2019s DVD features a clean transfer that\u2019s not too soft on details. Besides a short essay by Jasper Sharp, the only extra is a teaser trailer.<\/p>\n

A number of the actors in Female Teacher<\/strong> did make the odd straight film, with Kazamatsuri perhaps better known for small roles in Ichi the Killer<\/strong> (2001) and Kill Bill: Vol. 1<\/strong> (2003). Director Negishi later directed several crime films, including Detective Story <\/strong>(1983) and Kizuna<\/strong> (1998).<\/p>\n
