Tandem (1994)
Original title: 痴漢電車人妻篇 奥様は痴女
Tandem is a 1994 Japanese-language drama movie directed by Toshiki Satō, with a running time of 1h. It stars Daikei Shimizu, Mineo Sugiura and Takeshi Itō.
The story of two men, one middle aged one mid twenties, who make friends and exchange cigarettes and stories of their sex lives, unaware they have unwittingly exchanged partners. The story, told in flashbacks, as the two men travel through the night on a motorcycle, is loaded with highly charged eroticism. Sex and violence are juxtaposed against the drabness of the men's everyday lives, effectively blurring the line between what is real and what is fantasy. Founded on the well-known myth of furtive sexual gropers on the rush-hour Tokyo commuter trains, Tandem is a low-key masterpiece of Japanese Pink Cinema.
