Female College Student Diary (1981)

Original Title: Jokosei nise nikki, 女高生偽日記; AKA Female College Student Diary, High School Girl's Diary) Directed by famous photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, a sex comedy about a high school girl who gets involved with a sleazy fashion photographer.

 Rika Arai (Rika Arai) is a sweet, innocent girl.

 As she walks around, we get some awesome shots of the city.

 Rika is noticed by a sleazy afro'd photographer and his woman, Kaori Chiba (Naomi Hagio).

 We get a quick look at the world these sleazeballs come from.  What's this Rama spread for?...

 Oh, okay.  

 Rika is put in front of a camera for the first time, as Kaori Chiba and the rest watch the photo shoot.

 Rika enjoys the little bit of money she gets, and walks around some more.

This movie is low on plot and dialog, but each frame is a masterpiece. This film is gorgeous to look at.

 Rika meets up with her two friends - Junko Kawasaki (Yoko Morimura) on the right.

 Junko and her friend are topless waitresses.

 Junko and her friend are also extremely sexually active.  Here, Junko masturbates on the can.

 Junko and the other girl hop in the jeep with a couple dudes.

 Rika is convinced to provide a bit more explicit shots for the photographer.

 She's shaved.

 Rika goes to an underground jazz lounge and gets drunk.

 This lady takes the photographer up to her room.  I believe this is Asami Ogawa (source). 

 Rika gets progressively more inebriated. 

 She stumbles to the bathroom and finds Kaori Chiba in the stall with a black dude.

 Rika returns to the lounge, which is starting to get more and more lively.

 Whoa. I didn't see this coming.  Rika is tied up, while everyone dances around her, spraying her with alcohol.

 The film ends with Rika finishing her diary, then masturbating.

The last frame features a white rabbit, which I'm sure is supposed to signify something.

The story was really boring and lame; the dialog and character development almost nonexistent. But it almost doesn't matter - Nobuyoshi Araki's camerawork is incredible.  You can definitely tell he was a legendary photographer by the way this was shot. Each frame could go in a coffee table book - and, indeed, a book was published in '81 with photographs from this movie.  So, while the film is pretty bare (not even particularly titillating), it is gorgeous to look at.
