´I Think I´m Turning Japanese, I Really Think So!´
Just a sampling of why I love Japanese doramas the best. The Japanese are all about brevity, celebrating sexuality (No fish kisses here! ) and direct, if not brutal at times, dialogue. Humour is not used sparingly. And that they don't always tie up their endings with a big pretty bow is an understatement. But that's how real life works. I make no appologies for my preference for the physical attribrutes of Japanese actors. They are beautiful. Period. And that's just the men!

Ought to have been entitled 'Perfect Trap' because no crime as we know it takes place. Well at least no body is discovered. An exploration into things sensous. And will leave you questioning what is immoral and not?

![Junichi]()
6. Junichi

Meant to be a thinking woman 's film. For consideration is the impact this one individual has
on several women he encounters in his idle, libidinous lifestyle. Not a morality play.
