The 2018 Japanese movie Still Life of Memories didn’t make much of a splash when it was first released and we are finally catching up with it now. The somewhat peculiar plot is about a love triangle that emerges between a photographer, played by Masanobu Ando, and his younger girlfriend (Rima Matsuda, b. 1994) and a jukujo museum curator (Natsuko Haru, b. 1983), who asks the photographer to take pictures of her most intimate body parts.
Yes, this is one of those little films that looks certain to cement the reputation that Japanese have internationally for perversion — and Japanese women, in particular, for being kinky and weird. Well, let’s be frank, this blog has hardly done much to challenge that over the years.
Most of the nudity involves scenes where the curator poses for Ando, who takes close-up photographs of her genitalia between her legs. This inevitably develops into a sexual relationship. Haru, also known as Natsuko Kobayashi, is nude in several extensive scenes where she shows off her bush, butt hole, and ample breasts.
The best nude scenes, though, feature the lovely Rima Matsuda, who does full-frontal nudity in two scenes. Her explicit nudity includes a great scene in the bath, where she lies naked in the water as she is fingered by her lover.
There is also a burlesque scene in a strip club featuring Misato Arima, who briefly shows her breasts.
