And the organ exacerbates the incestuous transgression! Masterpiece that achieves its goal, misleading the viewer with an extravagant and unconventional script from the very beginning, without providing clues if the commentary on the abstract drawings at the beginning is concomitant with the cosmetics salesman Ichiro Igi sitting in the port; nor if Ichiro turns out to be a character from the film or a character from the prologue of the novel who is sitting there reflecting; at least before torturing himself with the barber Yamada about whether his father, who died 20 years ago, had relations with his wife EMiko and thus, like at the change of chapter of a novel, suddenly seeing him in a skyscraper flirting indolently with the schoolgirl Akiko Tsugami - emphasizing her screaming lips - and of course, consummate later, after the flirtation and silly preliminary and false gender antagonism, in a carnal town hall - sui generis - although most exciting due to the enveloping perplexity that the closes radiate -up quite abstract camera images on some-I couldn't swear on which- part of someone's body-again, I couldn't swear on which- of them. The participation of Emiko, Ichiro's wife in the film is to continue the portrait of Ichiro and his obsession with asking again or making sure whether or not he was intimate with his father and meanwhile, the plot intersperses the abstract color drawings. It will not be immediate, but at this point, the mystery will progressively darken a story that only seemed like an erotic cinematic diversion with a tendency towards Pink Cinema but whose development the Oedipal wink will begin to be obvious; In fact, I correct, the fateful fate of Igi will be irremediable, similar to that sad monarch of Thebes who unknowingly takes his mother as his wife; When the teenager Akiko asks Igi for a personal favor, to cause sentimental pain to her older sister Kyoko who works as a prostitute at The Steel Hammer bar, there will be no turning back, as if the Sphinx had already asked Igi what In this story no one asked about ignoring him. As is logical, but not predictable, Igi becomes obsessed with Kyoko because she is more attractive than the teenager but above all, because of her peculiarities - and only her slightly bondage hobby, but rather, secreting a milky liquid when pressing certain erogenous parts of her while they fornicate, she refers to them as a white tear. Anyway, the visits continue. not only without harming her as was supposed to be the original plan, but also jealous of Kyoko with the actor Akira Umemura.When two months pass without Akiko knowing anything, she visits him and finds him questioning his attitude, but this coincides with the detail that the barber Yamada provides, involuntarily, to Igi: doing the math, before he died Igi's father had a daughter named Kyoko! Igi immediately unleashes the mess of destiny, without needing to have gone to the oracle of Delphi as Oedipus did before returning to Thebes.THE ending is a closing that leaves the viewer frozen: if it is true that Kyoko's stepsister died 3 years ago, and in fact the description matches Akiko's sister Kyoko although from a different father, who has Igi been having sexual relations with?
