Some Came Running After Dark Foreign Region DVD Report: "Admired Swimming Instructor"

One indoor pool, four skin­tight swim­suits, and five male swim­ming students—these, aside from the tit­u­lar instruct­or, are the simple ingredi­ents that make up this potent 2007 erot­ic epic spot­light­ing the scrump­tious Yuma Asami…

Umm, just kid­ding. Come now. I mean, every­body knows that Japanese AV discs are Region 0, NTSC for the most part, and can thus be played on any North-American-bought machine.

And also, no, I’m not going to start review­ing this kind of mater­i­al. I am, as W.C. Fields would put it, only fool­ing and pretending.

But since I got your atten­tion (I pre­sume), I’d like to announce that the “Monday Morning Foreign Region DVD Report,” which deals with more con­ven­tion­ally edi­fy­ing fare, is mov­ing over the The Auteur’s Notebook, because, well, they asked, for one thing. You might be able to guess anoth­er thing. It will be up tomor­row morn­ing, over there—I’m not sure exactly what time yet. I won’t tell you what the film is, only that it stars Rock Hudson. Enjoy, and leave com­ments there, or here. Thanks.

    Sadly, Glenn, you’re com­pletely miss­ing the sub­text of Admired Swimming Instructor. You have no clue of Japanese nata­tori­um his­tory, swim­ming pool real­ism (or its chlor­in­ated Others), or Yuma’s work in general.

    You’ve con­vinced me to seek out “Admired Swimming Instructor”. I’m assum­ing that was your inen­tion. I cur­rently haven’t the time to veri­fy that.

    Some might argue that almost every video lib­rary bene­fits from the addi­tion of at least one Yuma Asami title, Bill.
