Reviews

[Philippe Malzieu · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is theorem of pasolini without god. With a sensuality and a torrid perversity. The woman brings back a strange boy to the house. He is a manipulator. It can perfectly be odious when it is needed. He will fuck all the family.
The Japanese novelists have the genius to succeed brillantly on 100 pages what much pains to make into 500. Tsuji speak about the crisis of the couple and the children with accuracy. The young man is only a révélator. A small masterpiece of veinenous erotism.
