[Tempura Baby]

Inside The Pleasure Dome Of Japanese Erotic Cinema focuses on one of the most famous branches of japanese filmmaking, the erotic Pink film genre, known as pinku eiga, and the closely related Roman Porno cult films series produced by notorious Nikkatsu studios from 1971 to 1988.

Films of this genre first appeared in the early 1960s, and dominated the Japanese domestic cinema for decades, dealing constantly with local censorship. Major studios and independent companies started to blend in violence element into the pinku eiga, creating sub genres such like SM bondage. For the first time this film documentary takes the viewer on a wild journey into the backyards of Japanese culture and society, where the weird and wonderful world of sex films mingled with radical politics and pop culture. Many key figures from this popular cinema talk here about their involvement in this unique adventure.

Wouldn't mind getting food poisoning from eating some of the cows that appeared in these movies....

But you're preaching to the converted here, Tempura Baby. But, remaining on the bovine theme, claiming to be the first documentary to explore pinku eiga is pure and utter bullshit.

Yeah, I often question anyone who say they are the first to do such and such. Maybe they are the first to capitalize on their experience, but i'm sure many people have attempted this before.
