First Night (1965) is an intriguing piece of Pinku cinema that's hard to pin down. It's got this blend of surreal undertones and playful eroticism that you don't see in a lot of films from that era. The pacing is a bit offbeat, which adds to its charm—it's almost like a dream you can't quite grasp. The performances are quite unique; there's a rawness to them that feels genuine, even if the direction is somewhat obscure. You can tell they were experimenting with practical effects, which gives it an interesting texture. The whole vibe is a mix of the avant-garde and the avant-pink, making it a curious watch for anyone interested in how genre boundaries were being pushed at the time.
First Night is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, with limited availability on home video formats. It often slips under the radar, overshadowed by more well-known titles from the Pinku genre. Those who do manage to track it down appreciate its distinct style and the experimental edge it has, making it a hidden gem worth discussing among enthusiasts.
