A flimsy plot about Korean spies leads to a climactic sight gag involving an enhanced version of George W. Bush's forefinger, but it's all window dressing for the main attraction: lots of bouncing T & A.

Reviews for The Glamorous Life Of Sachiko Hanai
1 - 20 (sorted by date)
Top CriticThe Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai is far less silly than it thinks it is. The upbeat vibe of super-female power misfires with a gratuitous rape scene.
07/23/07
Top Critic... a weird hybrid in the vein of the 1974 American sex pic Flesh Gordon, but with a more modern, goosed-up style.
07/15/07
Conceptually outlandish but routinely executed, this comic exploration of macho, control-freaky power struggles the world over remains skin-deep.
07/05/07
Top CriticMy head wants to explode at the woman-hating hideousness of this.
06/22/07
Recklessly fun, explosively colorful and intensely, abusively edited.
06/07/07
Sachiko Hanai is pretty much just raunch, much like the stuff that insinuates itself onto late-night premium channel programming. And which gets old fast.
06/01/07
More entertaining for its impudence than its execution...
05/31/07
This is one off-the-wall sex comedy. It is even occasionally actually funny in its offbeat fashion, but it is essentially stupid and the forays into sexual violence are downright ugly.
05/05/07
Combines soft-core porn with a fantastical sci-fi plot.
04/30/07
Top CriticAn apocalyptic political satire.
04/25/07
Top CriticThe film is nothing more than a rapidly tiresome gag that barely seems to understand the knotty philosophical problems being posited by its lusty fembot heroine.
04/23/07
An obscene, elaborate joke at the expense of the Bush Administration.... It's the trashy midnight weird-out that Grindhouse could have been.
04/17/07
Is this sleaze dressed up as art, or vice-versa? As more and more daring directors opt to push the envelope with similar conversation-provoking pictures, we'll have to let the debate about what could be an emerging cinematic trend continue.
04/16/07
It’s a film to be experienced more than judged and is only recommended for those with adventurous tastes. At the very least, I doubt you'll be bored.
04/14/07
As befits the form, enjoyment of this film will depend almost entirely on one’s appreciation of the substantial anatomical charms of its lead actress.
04/14/07
Just don't mistake it for something classier.
04/14/07
The overripe morsel who gets batted around in the Japanese absurdithon The Glamorous Life of Sachiko Hanai looks like she was conjured up by a teenage boy in dangerous hormonal overdrive.
04/13/07
Top CriticNothing short of confounding, the film seems to exist in an uneasy limbo between avant-garde brilliance and completely inane abrasiveness.
04/13/07
Uninspired staging and pacing manage the near-impossible feat of rendering such lunatic concepts dull.
