NO LOVE JUICE: RUSTLING IN BED...
...is a passion fueled examination of the 'older woman' scenario. When 28-year-old Tomomi is dumped by her boyfriend she seeks solace in the arms of 20-year-old student, Takao. A relationship develops through which Takao comes of age sexually and Tomomi discovers a side to love she has previously not known. As time passes it becomes apparent that the relationship is doomed and lust has been mistaken for love. An emotion filled yet often understated drama punctuated by frequent scenes of unbridled passion, plenty of naked flesh and the odd kinky encounter, this is Pink Cinema at its most genuine and subtle best.
"Tomomi, a Tokyo office girl approaching her 30s is stuck in a dull, uninspiring job and in a dead-end relationship that has dragged on for six years. After a night out drinking she awakens on her train ride home to find a handsome young man, an art college student named Takao, dozing with his head on her shoulder. She hesitates before daringly planting a kiss on his lips and dashes from the carriage. When she discovers he has followed her, a passionate affair ensues, but how much of an obstacle is their age difference? Originally released into pink cinemas under the sexed-up title ofOffice Lady Love Juice (and later on video as Working Big Sis’: Can’t Hold Herself Back After 5pm), Yûji Tajiri’s second work is a touching drama that ushered in a new era in the pink film genre by looking at sexual relationships from a woman’s perspective. Although it contains all the steamy bedroom moments one might expect from a film of this genre (more artistically shot than most films of its kind), this subtly-realised and nuanced character study delivers far more than bare skin, and is one of the best entry points for newcomers to pink film." - Jasper Sharp, 2012 New Horizons International Film Festival
