It's still mandatory viewing for Dream fans if they can find it! Nevertheless, a bit like a magic eye painting or a Rorschach test, if you squint just right, the vague outlines of a plot do become apparent. COWGIRLS falls somewhere in between, with a vague wisp of story apparent in the first part, but, as far as I could tell, all but completely abandoned in the second.
Future viewings may prove there's more here, but, for now, it feels pretty empty. Like all of Dream's video work, UC2 largely consists of retro-pop dialogue repeated robotically by its cast, then whipsawed back and forth in the editing room to create a weird kind of formalist abstraction. Unfortunately, this is the most dialogue-free of Dream's latter-day productions, with the zany writing kept to a minimum and most of the formal experimentation coming from video-generated title cards interrupting the action.
While I admit to getting a few chuckles out of these, nothing quite reaches the Olympian heights of "slut slaw," the brilliant neologism for the female anatomy coined in the first part.
Instead, Dream here seems largely to be on autopilot, cranking out five acceptable sex scenes, chopping them up just enough with video titles so that they become impossible to jerk off to the director's general porn M.
While his prior video productions are all brilliant deconstructions of the video-shot porn era, it seems by UNTAMED 2 even Rinse Dream was running out of ways to subvert the system. In the end, it's probably best that he quit here, while he was still at least somewhat ahead.
