DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY SEEN "GO-GO SECOND TIME VIRGIN"

This text I wrote might spoil everything, but considering that this movie was released in 1969 (even if at that time it was a bootleg) I don`t think it would be wrong if I would give my own opinion on 2004 "Go-Go Second Time Virgin - did not understand movie"(do not take it personally), the same 1969 production. Because it`s already written, here`s the "Paste":


Go-Go Second Time Virgin (1969)
Koji Wakamatsu
65 min

A violent bootleg Masterpiece about not losing purity dilemma

Not an easy and an art movie, Koji Wakamatsu`s „Go-Go Second Time Virgin” won`t let you without a second see, because it`s just amazing. But that`s not all. There is a natural tendency of considering this movie as a far-eastern one and especially as a `60`s -`70`s one. More than that (can you imagine) „Go-Go Second Time Virgin” is a strange and beautiful combination Bunuel-Resnais-Antonioni in a Japanese manner. It is true that the movie is violent, really violent, but physical violence is a indispensable element in „Go-Go Second Time Virgin”, especially when the same violence is not being followed for any single moment by Wakamatsu. The TITLE signifies purity, and in the beginning, a 17 years old girl is gang raped on a roof, while a boy is watching without participating. The boy remains there, right next to the raped girl till the morning, 8th of August, a warm and sunny one. The girl gets up and, even though she wasn`t a virgin, she still bleeded after the rape. It was the second time she was raped, first time it happened on a beach, and from B/W, the image is now cyan. She bleeded for the second time, because she didn`t lose her innocence, and directly comes the title, „Go-Go Second Time Virgin”. For the same reason the movie is „build” on and around a ROOF, with many WHITE SHEETS in the 8th of August morning scene. The girl is sad and she wants to die, and the boy, an anonimous poet, pretends that he does not understand why. We go down the roof in an appartament where the image turns for the last time from B/W (not a coincidence) into colour, this time, and there is a murder scene with four bodies and a lot of blood. The victimes have sexually molested the boy and he killed them for being „pigs” and that`s how ABUSE is introduced. From this moment `till the end, the movie turns into a not losing purity dillema, and the climax is the night i`m-gonna-kill-you-dance, all WHITE SHEETS are gone and a misty morning on the 9th of August. As for the set, the image and the shot, Tarkovsky`s and Kieslowskyi`s fans would be delighted seeing „Go-Go Second Time Virgin” a `65 minutes everyday Masterpiece about trying, keeping and fighting for your own purity. The most violent non-violent film I`ve ever seen, simply BEAUTIFUL (8/10).

Thanks for taking a little time out for writing about this film (two years ago), there seems to be little interest in it on this site. I thought it was interesting, I'm always a fan of sunny b&w photography and I particularly liked Tsukio's song. Great stuff.
