The Pornographers 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 1966 Radiance Shohei Imamura Japanese

Smart, darkly funny and daring, a bold look at sex, money and moral decay!

Introducing Radiance Films' 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray (Region B) for 1966's The Pornographers. Shohei Imamura’s landmark satire of postwar affluence was adapted from the internationally renowned novel by Akiyuki Nosaka (Grave of the Fireflies) and brings to vivid life the seedy side of 1960s Japan.

A former buddhist monk turned erotic filmmaker, Subuyan lives with hairdresser Haru and her two teenage children. Shooting two skin flicks per day, he somehow manages to stay out of the clutches of the yakuza, but real trouble starts when Haru discovers him lusting after her daughter.
