Antiporno (2016)

Antiporno: Directed by Sion Sono. With Ami Tomite, Mariko Tsutsui, Fujiko, Sayaka Kotani. Japan’s oldest major movie studio asks a batch of venerable filmmakers to revive its high-brow soft-core Roman Porno series.

“This movie is such a complicated critique on not only Japanu0026#39;s Roman porno industry but on the society and culture that gave rise to it and where that culture stands now in the 21st century. It is as complicated as all good art and the twists and turns will confuse and provoke even viewers who are familiar with the history of the genre and the culture. It has a lot to say but what you understand from it is quite open to interpretation… or is it? Full of symbols and symbolism, with meaning that is changed as quickly as it is attached. In the end it is a piece of art… or the most existential porno ever made?”
