Yuji Tajiri's film takes an almost crazed approach to love and sex with its tale of the affable, simple, and seemingly permanently horny, Hiroshi, who, during one sweltering summer in a small provincial town, moves into the apartment of single mum, Haruka. Their lovemaking is athletic, constant and occasionally involves vegetables, but a dark cloud comes looming when Haruka's ex-boyfriend comes knocking at the door. Challenged to a showdown Hiroshi spurns pistols at dawn and instead ops for cricket wrestling using the prowess of these grasshopper-like insects to defend his manhood. This is a truly hyperactive and fairly explicit Pink film with an effects-laden finale and a surprisingly erotic lesbian scene in a graveyard, which is worth the price of admission alone.
