Review

The fascinating reality of far-off, exotic lands is that when the native women shed their regional costumes and expose their succulent round softnesses, the resultant visceral thrill is every twinge as skintillating, if not a jolt more so, as when ladies of the homeland go bare. Experience the phenomenon of cross-cultural carnality with I.K.U. (2000), an arty and tarty Japanese sci-fi excursion into soft-core skin celebration and avant-freaky filmmaking. Relying more on a stimulating visual reality of scrambled nudity than on strict plot lines, I.K.U.’s narrative thrust is like an appealing, druggy, half-sleep dream of sex in a world slightly removed from our own.
