"Wonderful Friends In India"
Score
Overview
The rotten AV director Simple SANO drags along the rotten actor Kanon Eimu, aka Shinichiro Kaneko, on a hellish, haphazard journey through India in search of freaks (people with unusual deformities). Instead of freaks, they get ripped off, suffer diarrhea hell, get scammed, can't eat... and so on, facing a continuous string of misfortunes. Amidst this chaos, they attempt to film sex with an Indian woman, sneak into a cremation site for corpses, get scammed trying to exchange a beggar's money, have Kanon's head shaved, faint... and more. It's a super rotten road movie packed with countless moving (?) scenes. Will the two actually meet any special deformities (funny companions) and make it back to Japan safely? Part 1 covers the journey from gloomy Calcutta to irritating Benares.
