The
film opens with Yoshiro masturbating as he fantasizes over his dream
girl, classmate Sae. During his climax, there is a unique cosmic blast
which shakes the atmosphere causing him (and numerous other teens who
were also masturbating at the same time) to gain psychic powers. This
group of ESP virgins band together on a mission to defend the world
from evil psychics bent on destruction. At the same time, two researchers
from Tokyo, Professor Asami and his big-breasted assistant Ms Akiyama
(see above right) attempt to restore normality to the community but
manage only to unleash even greater sexual calamity.
Many
shocked International critics has dismissed this movie as Sion Sono's
elaborate dirty joke. But despite all the preoccupation with short skirts,
boners and big tits, there is an important comment on the necessity
of treating sexuality as a natural part of the human experience. Based
on the manga All Esper Dayo! by Kiminori Wakasugi
(known for DETROIT
METAL CITY), Sion Sono continues his amazingly proficient creative
output; this was his sixth production for 2015 (which also included
TAG
and TOKYO
TRIBE). He always seems to push beyond the constraints of acceptability
and good taste. With his diverse array of films like GUILTY
OF ROMANCE, EXTE,
SUICIDE
CLUB, WHY
DON'T YOU GO PLAY IN HELL?, he's proving himself to be the most
important filmmaker in Japan today.
