Pink double feature #1 – Groper Train: Search for the Black Pearl & Japanese Wife Next Door

Friday, June 19, 2009

Japan’s pink films are softcore porn movies shot on film, edited analog and released in theaters on triple bills and they’re where lots of mainstream directors got their starts, from Kiyoshi Kurosawa to Yojiro Takita (who just won an Oscar for his DEPARTURES). GROPER TRAIN is one of Takita’s weirdest and wildest pink movies and JAPANESE WIFE NEXT DOOR is an incest-heavy, light-hearted riff on Pier Paolo Pasolini’s TEOREMA.
