Review by Craig Sorensen

Nympho Diver: G-String Festival is the most conventional sex film yet out of the extreme oddities that make up the Nikkatsu Roman Porno collection.  That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a bad film, it’s just not what I have come to expect from the series.  If anything, Nympho Diver has more in common with the ridiculous sex comedies coming out of Germany in the 1970s than the sick, urine soaked depravity from Japan.  Nympho Diver is light airy comedy.  No fractured psyches and nary a sexual assault, Nympho Diver is probably what you would want to show to a friend to try to ease them into the Nikkatsu series.

So Nympho Diver: G-String Festival concerns a small fishing village somewhere in Japan.  The village has come upon hard times and their only female diver is old and not at all sexy.  What are the lecherous men of the village to do?  They come up with a harebrained scheme that’s bound to work.  The mayor’s son will lure some sexy girls from the city to be their new divers.  And that’s about it for plot.  Everyone has sex for a while and then the brainy girl reads about an old village tradition, the g-string festival.  Then they have the festival.  The end.

Ok, you probably aren’t going to be watching a film called Nympho Diver for plot.  Don’t worry, there are plenty of attractive girls and nudity to tide you over.  And Nympho Diver does have some crazy sex scenes so don’t expect things to be completely too conventional.  There is a sleazy monk, some lesbians and an adult baby to keep things interesting.  Still, the mood is kept light and fun and it’s only 69 minutes so you could do much worse with a Saturday afternoon.

As usual for the Nikkatsu series, Nympho Diver receives a very nice looking transfer from Impulse.  the film comes in it’s original aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and is naturally 16x9 enhanced.  Colors are very nice of course.  The only audio option, in keeping with the rest of the series, is the original Japanese mono track.  And obviously you get nice English subtitles.  The only extra is the films theatrical trailer.

[Rating: 3]
