Synopsis

One afternoon, Shiori, a very sexually active young woman working in a café, is riding her bicycle and cuts off Kosuke, who is pulling a two-wheeled cart. Once a recognized playwright, Kosuke now lives a quiet life in a mountain hut, far away from the city, in the hope of escaping his past.

Our take

Nikkatsu is rebooting its legendary Roman Porno series, giving different directors creative freedom in exchange for thriftiness and a healthy dose of sex. The first of these softcore art films (or arty softcore films, if you wish!), is Akihiko Shiota’s slapstick comedy, a breezily playful delight.

Armanti

Akihiko Shiota built up an extraordinary sexual drama, managing to put also a bit of satire in what I consider a distinguished feature.

Fun and sexy. (all that erotic cinema, specially erotic comedies, usually are not). Curiosly, there were some parallels, in terms of physicality, with Love Battles.

Cute porn comedy. They should at least take their panties off for the simulated sex scenes, tho. 3.5*

Jason's rating of the film Wet Woman in the Wind

Thesis statement: there is no escaping the entropy of sex. WET WOMAN IN THE WIND is cute, funny, and smart. Sexy, sure. It gleefully degenerates in the best way possible. Our hero has isolated himself to fend against the onslaught of womankind and his own glands. Nothing doing. From a wonderful opening the film develops leisurely, though in antic screwball mode, only to very suddenly go judiciously bananas. Yay!

Brotherdeacon's rating of the film Wet Woman in the Wind

Lesson 1) sex should never be filmed as cute, unless it's a cheerleader movie. Lesson 2) study the good attributes of classic pinku and follow them. Lesson 3) merely showing tits, even good tits, isn't enough in simulated coitus--work harder! Lesson 4) no Pinku film deserves a sound track which seems lifted from an American 70's cop series. Lesson 5) Don't advertise a "more modern" Pinku when it's a satire of Pinku

Slappy McGee's rating of the film Wet Woman in the Wind

Never knew "Roman Porno" or "Japanese Pink" films until now. Thanks, MUBI... I think? I can see what they are going for, but the sad thing is that this could be an interesting film - maybe even "good" - if not for the lapse into soft porn at the very end. Filmed capably and has an interesting story to keep it moving. But it spends its energy on the humpy-bumpy rather than its narrative and ends up being just so-so.

DrFirestone's rating of the film Wet Woman in the Wind
DrFirestone

This film starts quite strong and the plot actually has some potential, with a bit of effort it could be an interesting film on its own. The humour works quite well (a lot of it is specific to the Japanese culture). As the events unfold the film progressively shifts towards a rather uninspiring soft porn feast. Not bad at all for what it is. If you're a fan of the genre then you should definitely give it a try.
