A Snake of June (2002)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

AKA: Rokugatsu no Hebi
Directed by: Shinya Tsukamoto
Starring: Asuka Kurosawa (Rinko), Yûji Kôtari (Husband), Shinya Tsukamoto (Stalker)
Country: Japan, Asian Cinema
Language: Japanese (English Subs)
Runtime: 01:16:51
Genres: Voyeur, Porno-Themed

Plot – Spoilers:
Rinko is a mild-mannered young woman who works as a counselor advising troubled people over the phone. One of the men she had advised works as a photographer for a group who specialize in a type of a virtual-porno experience. The guy was suicidal, until Rinko’s sweet voice gave him a new purpose in life: to force-help Rinko express her sexuality that was repressed in a marriage to a much older man.

A Snake of June is exciting so long as it sticks to its stalker-voyeur angle, but stumbles when it attempts to bring the empty couple together. But it’s got monochrome style and will certainly appeal to Shinya Tsukamoto fans.

Strange movie with an odd story line. The monochrome cinematography I found to be a bit distracting but unusual in a good way. After I watched it I was a little unsure about a few things so I read the plot on the “A Snake In June” wiki page and it exactly describes what I watched. I didn’t miss anything but I had this nagging feeling that I had missed something throughout the film and I am still somewhat perplexed at the ending. Maybe this was the intent of the director because, as the movie went on, the scenes became more surreal and bizarre. I’ll give it 3 stars.

The biggest perversion of Rinko is being married with a so much older man.
So, from the start, the film has no conflicts or problem to be solved: the photographer gives Rinko the way to be stuck in her problem rather then solving it.
Anyway the movie gives hope to find younger and attractive womens to everyone; this must be recognized 🙂
Strictly to the movie line, it’s very well written and staged, with perfect balanced state of mind.
