Timing and Translation by Patonyan

(Second Half online September 30th)

Welcome back to another edition of the GCU (GOGOS Cinematic Universe) where instead of getting a purely standalone title about a cheating Japanese wife on a mission with or potentially without her husband's blessing, we get something considerably more complex in the best of ways. The bread and butter for this uber-reality JAV studio is indeed attractive and unfaithful (sometimes totally behind the backs of their husbands and other times by their command!) Japanese women going on hot springs trips with smooth-talking directors. While this studio does not usually throw massive curve-balls, there still are surprises from time to time.

Today and Monday's extra long 240 minute double update is one such exception. This one has twists, unexpected encounters, and even truth or dare gone lesbian! Before that though, a quick word on the foundation of REAL HOTWIVES - PARADISE LOST VILLA WITH JAV DIRECTORS: originally, this movie was released not as one release, or even two, but three (!). GOGOS, employing two suave directors who usually handle their own shooting (to see them in action together simply check out a recent wife swapping update), had them work in tandem for something extra special: two cheating wives both with experience on two separate trips. The catch? Both did not get the memo about sharing one extra large suite with the other! A hot springs getaway full of forbidden and filmed play goes from a one-on-one affair to a foursome.

Each director essentially shot his own movie--Side A and Side B per studio literature. Each features unique footage. The initial meetups, travel, and early 'play' being totally unique and later group footage being from that director's point of view. Each runs three solid hours. What's more, shortly after these came out, GOGOS released a special site-only edition that features both plus another two hours (!) of extra footage in the form of more sex, more games, and...ah, other things. As we don't have time to show all eight hours, our time with these two curious wives--ages 30 and 42 and both with libidos of women in their twenties!--consists of the 'Side A' material plus some of the bonus footage.

The basic flow of PARADISE LOST is a cross between their onsen getaway movies with a wee bit of the group action more familiar with the 'female employee crashes onsen getaway' movies is known to feature. Pretty much everything GOGOS does within this genre is way more than a 'porn film'. Credit to them for focusing on reality, focusing on intense conversations (all professionally subtitled of course) that make this more than a fast look at a Japanese wife doing the unthinkable and more of a curious study of sensual human behavior.

PARADISE LOST is also a master class in self-shooting. Filmed entirely with hand-held cameras and mostly without extra studio lighting, we get something that looks great, sounds great, and still packs a punch. The action later on is wonderful as is the reactions when realizing this is going to be more than a normal dalliance. It's surprising to see two married Japanese women go especially wild towards the very end. Who'd of thought two demure wives who until now have never met would spend so much time licking each other?
