Review of Summertime

Summertime (2001)
sexy starlet makes the movie intriguing
20 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I won't bother summarizing the plot because a) it's been done on this site already by others b) I don't understand a word of Korean

what I do understand is that this is a very well shot, well lit and nobly acted piece of erotica. The actress didn't arouse my interest at first but as the movie went on she seemed to become more and more captivating. Maybe it is because the number of love scenes in this movie increases as it progresses. She has a lovely body to look at and it's on full display in many scenes.

The actors who play her lovers have to be among the luckiest alive as the scenes show them with her in many trysts. The angles of their pelvises, the thrusting, the expressions on their faces all make the sex scenes very realistic.

Another aspect making the scenes highly charged is that they appear to be taken with one camera, one take. So it adds to the highly voyeuristic feel. It's like you're actually there, watching them, in real time - not like those Zalman King movies where it feels like you're watching a rock video with all the cuts and jumps to other angles. this is all one camera, slowly panning, capturing the lovers in sweaty action as if you were there.

Why the explicitness? Well - believe it or not, the differences in a loving thrust versus a thrust that exudes a controlled rage are on display. A loving caress of the breast is contrasted with a more rougher handling of her golden globes. Without understanding a word they were saying I already could tell who truly loved this woman and who was using her as their own personal power trip.

If you're looking for an erotic tale, done with quality, with a beautiful actress, and some semblance of a plot this is it.
