Katsu, a young man who has spent five years drifting around Japan, returns to his coastal village hometown hoping to restart his life. Though the villagers recognize him, he refuses to admit to his past identity. He sets about disrupting social conventions and engaging in sexual and violent affronts to decorum.
A beautifully shot Japanese softcore turn at the seishun eiga (coming-of-age film), Tatsumi Kumashiro’s Lovers Are Wet plays like Mike Nichols’ The Graduate soaked in a vat of shochu. It’s not clear where the young drifter Katsu has been for the last couple of years, but he’s returned home, gotten a job at the local porn theater and is insisting to everyone who recognizes him that he is NOT Katsu. With implications he’s either been a radical leftist agitator or a just petty crook, now he acts like another slacker punk in a dead-end town — one whose impulses drive him to different women like a sex-starved dog. Having directed many of Nikkatsu’s “Roman Porno” ‘70s softcore films, Kumashiro often sharply diverged from expected norms, producing unexpectedly wild imagery; here, with many free-floating dreamy non-linear sequences, his statement about the feeling of disenchantment and social disconnect amongst Japanese youth reaches its zenith. At a brisk 76 minutes, this is one whip-crack trippy ride.
