Be Extremely Numb

About This Movie

Be Extremely Numb stands out as a rather raw exploration of love marred by trauma. Naomi Tani delivers a haunting performance, her character's emotional barricades play out against the film's muted and almost suffocating atmosphere. The pacing has this languid quality, drawing you into the depths of despair and yearning. Kinya Ogawa's direction brings a certain tension, blending sensuality with profound sadness, capturing the delicate balance of attraction and avoidance. It's definitely not your conventional drama; it’s more of an experience that lingers unsettlingly in your mind.

This film has a somewhat niche appeal, primarily due to its connection with the pink film genre and Naomi Tani's notoriety. It's been released in various formats over the years, but finding a quality version can be a challenge, making it somewhat coveted among collectors. The scarcity of this title adds to its charm, especially for those fascinated by the blending of erotic and dramatic storytelling in 70s cinema.
