While Broadway Video the other night I was looking for a nice foreign movie to kill some time with. I was strolling the Japan section when I found Bastoni. It looked somewhat familiar so I could not remember if I had seen it before in the TLA catalog or actually watched it (and it turns out I had watched it at some far off point but do not remember when).The basic premise is seeing how to adult film stars try to go from being the top of their game to preparing to have a baby. The movie is graphic-ish, but nothing close to true porn or Short Bus. The complicating factor is the male protagonists ex-girlfriend who for some weird stalker ass reason decide she wants to come between her ex-boyfriend and his new wife/mother of his child.
Well. all hell breaks loose toward the end of the movie and I was just left feeling a sense of sadness. Not for the male protagonist having his world turned up side down, but for the ex-girlfriend's bitchyness. She went out of her way to destroy her ex-boyfriend after they had not seen each other in eight years. And for what?
This is one of those stories that makes you take a step back and take stock of how you deal wit ha break up. I'd like to think I am above high school drama crap at my age. But then again who knows what one is capable of anymore.
