Local filmmaker Eric Khoo is no stranger to overt sexual motifs (re: Be with Me, Mee Pok Man, 15) and it’s only logical to hire him to direct a commercial for condom makers Okamoto. He really does make great films, but this just looks absurd.
Claiming to “capture the beauty of women at the height of their pleasure”, the ad is purely minimalist in aesthetic, featuring actresses who look more like faking orgasms than actually having one. Also, the whole deed is done in less than 30 seconds, which is kinda sad. “Give her more reason to thank you,” flashes on screen — very appropriate because 30 seconds of missionary does very little for women in real life, by the way.
