Like many of his peers, Sono started out directing pinku films. While the craftier directors tried to look at the niche as a way to experiment without worrying too much about producers breathing down their necks, Sono simply went through the motions, delivering some downright bland films.

The title gives away the entire plot, of which there isn't much. Namie runs a pottery workshop. It's not just about pots and clay, Namie sees it as a way to teach her pupils about love (and lust). To do that, they have to get pretty intimate with the clay, and eventually, with each other.

I generally try to avoid this niche, unless it's a film by a director I care for. That's about the only reason to watch this, unless you get your kicks for pinku cinema. No plot to speak of and lots of nude women playing around with clay. At least it was short, but even then this felt like it lasted for ages.
