Naomi makes lesbian porn. But it's not the over-the-top-dumb-dialogue-kind of lesbian porn that guys get off on, so her producers demand a re-shoot. At the same time she's directing the first lesbian love story for a pseudo-reality TV dating show, with her bubbly Gen-X pal Azusa and an office manager/dominatrix go-go dancer named Miki as the featured couple. All the while, Naomi spends her nights online, confessing her fears and dreams to a gentle, supportive soul known only by her screen name Sugar. It's as campy and sex-filled as it sounds, a rambunctious trip through Japanese urban dyke culture that - thanks to director Desiree Lim's unflinchingly radical vision and plenty of hot girl-on-girl action - leaves you panting for more. After cleverly skewering both the straight male porn industry and her anti-porn lesbian sisters as well, Lim goes on to celebrate the strap-on dildo, the S/M possibilities of plastic wrap, and a space-age two-pronged tit-clamp that vibrates. But lest you call her a jaded sex fiend, she's also surprisingly made a genuinely romantic movie, with a nuanced subplot about sustaining long-term relationships and a tender ode to cyber-romance. Guiding us along are three charismatic and sexy leads whose snappy repartee comes just as easily as their fiery erotic chemistry. In case you missed the obvious, this film contains plenty of deliciously racy sex and is intended for adult audiences only.
In Japanese with English subtitles.
Director Desiree Lim will attend the screening and discuss her work with the audience.
Preceded by Watching Lesbian Porn, Dir. Dayna McLeod, United States, SOUTH FLORIDA PREMIERE.
One feminist's discourse on lesbian erotica turns into a slapstick pornographic romp for two other women hell-bent on trying every position in the Kama Sutra.

Definitely not a Nike ad.
