Find out where cinema gets its color as we dive into the world of pinku eiga. A training ground for many of Japan’s most renowned filmmakers — including Kiyoshi Kurosawa (CURE), Shinji Sōmai (TYPHOON CLUB), Masayuki Suo (SHALL WE DANCE?), and Yoshimitsu Morita (THE FAMILY GAME) — these films are known for their innovative storytelling, taboo sexuality, and wild experimentation. Sophisticated yet provocative, these films toe the line between grindhouse and arthouse, offering a daring alternative to the staid sexuality and unimaginative narratives of mainstream cinema.
