Yuri Ishihara

A boy, abandoned by the whole family - torn apart by obsessions, perversions and problems of every kind-start looking at everything around him through the eye of the camera, so that nothing can seem flat and keep up hope. The meeting between these two lonely souls will bring unexpected consequences.

The story of two men, one middle aged one mid twenties, who make friends and exchange cigarettes and stories of their sex lives, unaware they have unwittingly exchanged partners. The story, told in flashbacks, as the two men travel through the night on a motorcycle, is loaded with highly charged eroticism. Sex and violence are juxtaposed against the drabness of the men's everyday lives, effectively blurring the line between what is real and what is fantasy. Founded on the well-known myth of furtive sexual gropers on the rush-hour Tokyo commuter trains, Tandem is a low-key masterpiece of Japanese Pink Cinema.

This routine effort from cult pinku-eiga director Hisayasu Sato centers around a divorcée who opens a beauty parlor and begins selling sexual services to boost her business.

Two petty gangsters get ransomed by a group of Yakuza members, fortunately they are rescued by a kindly Kindergarten teacher.

A complete change of pace for cult pinku-eiga filmmaker Hisayasu Sato, this softcore farce set in a women's clinic looks more like one of Siggi Gotz's German romps than a film from the director of OL Renzoku Rape: Kyonyu Musaboru or Kamen No Yuwaku. The zany antics include the misadventures of a voyeuristic nurse, an exhibitionistic patient, a doctor and nurse who engage in S&M, a hypochondriac, and a lesbian nurse who sleeps with the patients.

Sato regular Koichi Imaizumi stars as a man obsessed with high school girls and their uniforms, viewing them as innocent and untainted. He begins an affair with one such girl (Yuri Ishihara), who is unmercifully bullied by her classmates and thus vulnerable to Imaizumi's attentions. After a time, Ishihara begins to manipulate her suitor, talking him into brutally raping all the girls who tormented her. Excited by schoolgirls as he is, Imaizumi has no problem acceding to Ishihara's demands at first, but eventually rebels due to his love for the vengeful nymphet.

The film depicts Nagatoshi, a monk, who is mistaken for the reincarnation of a hero in a small mountain village who looks exactly like him, and who rebels against the government together with the farmers. Unlike its predecessor, which was a period drama in style, this film is more contemporary, incorporating issues such as corruption at a general contractor. The dynamism of the farmers' revolt, with its mass mobilization of extras, is also a highlight of the film.
