Groper Train: Under Skirt

About This Movie

Groper Train: Under Skirt is one of those peculiar blends of science fiction and softcore that's hard to categorize. Directed by Mototsugu Watanabe, it paints a surreal picture of a girl's obsession with a Taisho-era poet. The pacing is a bit languid, reflective of her daydreams as she hustles at a snack bar to save for that coveted first edition poetry book. There's this odd tension between her romantic aspirations and the more mundane reality, which makes it distinctive. The performances are quite earnest, capturing that youthful yearning. And let's not forget the practical effects that add a unique texture to the film's atmosphere. It's not your typical sci-fi fare, but it sure leaves an impression.
