Bumpkin Soup Blu-ray Third Window Films Japanese Erotic Kiyoshi Kurosawa

An early pink film from the award-winning director of Cure and Tokyo Sonata!

Introducing Third Window Films' Blu-ray release for 1984's Bumpkin Soup, an early pink film from Kiyoshi Kurosawa, the award-winning director of Cure and Tokyo Sonata.

A country girl named Akiko (Yoriko Doguchi, known for her collaborations with the late Kishin Shinoyama) visits a college in Tokyo in search of her hometown sweetheart. In the course of finding him, she runs into various odd inhabitants of the college campus–blasé intellectuals, sex-crazed co-eds, a psychology professor in search of the theory of shame (played by award-winning director Juzo Itami) and of course her sweetheart Yoshioka, who has become an elusive campus nobody.
