 Sachiko Hanai is a sex worker at an imekura (or sexual role-play club). Blessed with a curvy figure and an aptitude for her work, she’s otherwise entirely ordinary until she becomes an unwilling witness to a shooting in a coffee shop -- and takes a round from the killer that lodges in her forehead.
Instead of silencing her, the bullet sends her IQ soaring. She devours books by Kant, Sartre, Sontag and Chomsky and starts spouting brainy babble. She visits seedy professor Saeki, who authored one of her favorite tomes, and soon becomes his ultimate erotic playmate - one who can quote from "The Critique of Pure Reason" as she climaxes. Saeki installs her in his home as a tutor to his nerdy son while his skeptical wife wonders what is really going on behind closed doors. Meanwhile, Sachiko's would-be killer -- a North Korean spy -- is on her trail to not only finish what he started: to retrieve the cloned ICBM trigger finger of George W. Bush that Sachiko picked up on her dazed way out the coffee shop door.
THE GLAMOROUS LIFE OF SACHIKO HANAI began life as Pink film, the durable Japanese soft-core genre, with the title “Horny Home Tutor: Teacher’s Love Juice” but it soon developed into a cult hit and the producers allowed director Meike Mitsuru to expand it and in its present form it was re-released to independent art screens. While still following the pink formula -- one scene of simulated sex every 10 minutes or so -- the film rudely satirizes everything from academic pretension to current American foreign policy.
“A potent mix of black, slapstick humor, political satire and sex, sex, sex! It’s guaranteed to shock a lot of people – and please even more.”
V.A. Musetto, New York Post

i saw this film .
"rudely satirizes" barely covers the "points pointed out".
makes fun of men, women,relationships, current events,
and many other things.
for those not squeamish about sex scenes, this is well worth watching.
be sure to sit through ALL of the credits, cos the movie continues after!!
