The post Toshiya Fujita – Erosu no yûwaku AKA Seduction of Eros (1972) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Sachiko is on the run from the law after being implicated in the murder of her mistress. In her travels, she comes across the charming, squeaky-voiced Yoko who offers her refuge in her candle-lit inn. She can’t believe her luck. But of course, things are never that easy. Yoko calmly informs her that her husband, Ryûnosuke, is a cruel and violent man. Upon meeting him, it becomes clear that Yoko’s claims were not unfounded – though she has left out the part about how she enjoys cruelty and sexual deviance just as much as her significant other. The couple blackmails her and threatens to deliver her to the police. Sachiko has no other choice but to obey them.

The post Tatsumi Kumashiro – Onna jigoku: Mori wa nureta AKA Woods Are Wet (1973) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

The second of Nikkatsu’s trilogy of softcore melodramas looking at prostitution in various Japanese cities, this dark look at ritualistic temple sex in Edo from director Noboru Tanaka is quite a departure from the light, comic tone of Chusei Sone’s Maruhi: Joro Ichiba. Resembling nothing so much as an Asian version of all those Roman-set Italian sex films of the 1970s, the film deals with various members of Japanese royalty subjecting women to sadomasochistic sexual practices in the temple for supposedly religious reasons. Rie Nakagawa stars with Yuri Yamashina, Moeko Ezawa, and Hijiri Abe.

This was also voted No.55 on 1999’s Kinema Jumpo Poll of Top 100 Japanese Films of All Time.
It’s a samurai film but its style is rather different from those Toei & Daiei jidaigeki in 50s & 60s (probably not surprising as an ATG production), It has a non-heroic (or at least, unorthodoxy) portrait of the protagonist: Ryoma, at times even a parody, with the wry humor everywhere in the film. But it also looks a bit like a documentary, as the film is very grainy and the cinematographer is Masaki Tamura, who’s responsible for the look of many Shinsuke Ogawa & later, Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s films.

Quote:
Kuroki Kazuo was one of the leadoing filmmakers of the 60s and 70s independent film movement centered on the Art Theatre Guild (ATG). The Assassination of Ryoma shows the last three days of Sakamoto Ryoma, a hero of Meiji Restoration, who was assassinated a year before the Restoration was achieved. Like Yamanaka, Kuroki rejects showing Ryoma only as a hero. Rather, he focuses on anonymous people as well as on the carnivalesque mass events called “eijanaika”, in which commoners would rampage through an increasingly restive Edo (Tokyo) chanting “why not?” The film is one of many attempts in the period to think through the first one hundred years of Modern Japan, which came into being after Ryoma was killed. Kuroki’s discontinuous modernist style is exhilarating to watch, and helps connect Ryoma’s tragic end to the “Asama mountain lodge” incident of 1972, in which a radical political sect involved in a series of murders was caught in a standoff with the police. Perhaps we can see in the film’s loose and fragmentary form the confusion of radical artists, caught in the transformation from the political activism in the 1960s to the consumerism in the 1980s.
