	Pinku eiga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term pinku eiga was coined by journalist Minoru Murai.

		This film caused the taboo about nudity to completely vanish from the Japanese culture, and for almost twenty years pinku eiga was to remain the most widely appreciated form of cinema in Japan.
		Due to the excessive amounts of pinku eiga, the Japanese government enforced a censorship board to preview the films before being admitted to the theaters.
		With the fall of respectable filmmakers creating artistic pinku eiga, the cyber punks took it upon themselves to make artistic films using experimental cinematography, avant-garde sound tracks, and new and unusual ideas.

	Nikkatsu Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its film studio was formed on September 10th 1912, making it Japan's oldest major film studio, and it continues from its Tokyo head office.
		The company has made all sorts of films, but capitalised on the popularity of pinku eiga, or pink films (softcore pornographic films), in post-war Japan, and at one time was the country's largest producer of such films.
		After some troubled years, with dwindling sales, the company is back in force today with a cult following as one of Japan's oldest established film-makers.

		That impact awarded, besides, a path which may seem curious to the Western culture but is more or less normal to the Japanese cinema: it's been twenty years since Hiroki makes films and his filmography is integrated by forty long films, most of which belong to the genre known as pinku eiga, or “pink movies”.
		Differently to Western pornography, the pinku eiga are filmed in 35mm, released in theatres and they can't show genitals, reason for which the directors are forced to sharpen their imagination I order to satisfy the spectators' demands.
		Hiroki has not made pinku eiga for some years now, which doesn't mean that in his films sex isn't, in genera, intense, abundant and frequent.

	Pinku eiga (film genre)
		Koji Wakamatsu is one of the more important directors to have worked in the pink film (pinku eiga), a genre of softcore, dramatically charged films which were dominant on the Japanese domestic scene in the 1960’s and 1970’s (the roman porn were a more radical and explicit subset of the pink film).
		But, actually, Ishii’s body of work has been largely overlooked by Western critics, partly due to the scarce availability of his films outside of Japan, partly because Ishii himself was considered a minor, if not forgettable, director.
		The enormous success of pink eiga didn’t go unnoticed by the major film studios.

	Another Lonely Hitman
		Joining with the only member of the gang who supports him in his crusade, Tachibana and his younger sidekick try to clean up Osaka a bit — much to the chagrin of their employers.
		Though much of Another Lonely Hitman is informed by the obvious influences of Kinji Fukasaku and the pinku eiga films in which Mochizuki long worked, there is much that’s unconventional about the film.
		At times this works to the movie’s advantage, as the narrative is peppered with inventive cinematographic compositions and the occasionally tender moment that reveals the filmmaker’s sensitive and nuanced eye.

		Domenig put together last year’s special on “pinku eiga” at the Udine film festival, Italy.
		Less favourable The Japanese Pink Film, Andrew Grossman reviews three DVD releases including one Zeze film (“The Dream of Garuda”) for the Bright Lights Film Journal.

		Each of the entries basically includes year of publication, director, producer, actor, stuff, scriptwriter, and genre of film, but some entries do not include all of this information.
		For instance, in the section of the 1960's and the 1970's, he discusses the porn films (pinku eiga), a genre that most film histories ignore.
		While thus challenging various notions of "Japanese film," Yomota nevertheless employs a conventional style of film history, dividing the entire history into periods and discussing representative directors and films from each period.

	Welcome to Adobe GoLive 4
		Unable to compete with the rapid spread of television and the emerging proliferation of independent film houses, the majors looked to the newly emerging genre of pinku eiga (literally "pink films") to lure audiences back to the theaters.
		Typically produced on bare-bones budgets and clocking in at an economical seventy minutes, quite a few of these films—Masaru Konuma’s controversial but artful SandM flick A Wife to Be Sacrificed (Ikenie fujin, 1974) for example—became box-office smashes.
		One of Nikkatsu's most creative and prolific talents, he not only helped bring these films to a wider audience but garnered critical accolades as a directoral presence, elevating the genre to the realm of art cinema.

		To put it bluntly, the book contains a lot (like 2/5 of the entire book) of porn films, or pinku eiga.
		Well a film like Female Neo Ninjas can get extra stars (out of a total of four) for having "cute ninjas" and featuring a scene where one of them is whipped as a form of torture, placing it above Akira Kurosawa's Dreams (1990).
		This just begs the question, if some of these films were intended for a pinku eiga audience, why are they being included in this book?

		This self-reflexive pinku eiga film may be to Nikkatsu softcore what Boogie Nights was to American hardcore.
		Shin Kishida stars as Juzo, a self-important pinku eiga director clearly modeled on Nagisa Oshima.
		Well directed by Tatsumi Kumashiro, and with plenty satirical in-jokes to amuse devoted pinku eiga buffs, Kurobara Shoten is among the genre's most engaging self-examinations.

		Japanese 'Pink' Cinema began in the 1960's and had a major rivival around this time and Tokyo Decadence was one of the first.
		The 'Pink' film or 'pinku eiga', as it is known in Japan, combines an authentic balance between the porno subculture and the avant-garde, all the while raising political and social narratives.
		Very much influenced by the French New Wave cinema of the 60's, and portraying 'real' stories that are often as provocative and erotic as they are disturbing.

		This obsession with reconstructing Japanese national identity was central to the censorship controversy that surrounded director Takechi Tetsuji’s seminal pinku eiga Black Snow (1965).
		I admit there are many nude scenes in [Black Snow], but they are psychological nude scenes symbolizing the defenselessness of the Japanese people in the face of the American invasion.

	Shooting on a shoestring
		Just as in the 1970s, when major studios such as Nikkatsu switched to B movies and the soft porn works on which many filmmakers cut their teeth, today’s producers have made erotic films (pinku eiga) and gangster films on budgets even smaller than their elders.
		New film and video schools are springing up like Eiga Bi Gakko, which was founded two years ago by producer Kenzo Horikoshi.
		Classes are often taught by young directors, who submit film proposals as part of the school programme to produce two films each year.

		To counter the continued decline in cinema attendance throughout the 1960’s due to the rapidly emerging popularity of television, some independent Japanese film studios decided to create a new genre of film that they hoped would help jumpstart the industry.
		Introduced sometime in the early 60’s, these films became known as pinku eiga or pink films, a form of softcore pornographic films.
		In the early 1970’s, Toei Studios came up with a sub-genre of pinku eiga that has become known as “Pinky Violence”.

	DVDFanatic.com News: 08/04/05 - DVD REVIEW: "Gate of Flesh"
		While Story is an important film in its own right, Gate of Flesh marks an early entry in the pinku eiga genre, which is essentially soft-core porn with an emphasis towards sado-masochism.
		These are the beginnings of the pinku eiga genre; the film maintains an intense eroticism (especially in the more surreal segments) without being overtly pornographic.
		Sen’s girls all wear dresses in their own trademark color, making for easy distinction and no small amount of symbolism with regards to each one’s personality.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: The Guard from the Underground Movie Review
		Given his growing popularity in the west, it's surprising that Kiyoshi Kurosawa's earlier films haven't been picked up for distribution.
		Like many directors, Kurosawa worked in a variety of different genres during the early part of his career, turning out at least one pinku eiga (porn film), a big-budget haunted house movie, a series of straight-to-video yakuza films, and The Guard from the Underground (Jigoku no keibiin), a slasher movie.
		That might sound a million miles from his recent horror films, the bleakly terrifying Cure (1997) and Pulse (2001), but all of Kurosawa's stylistic trademarks can be seen in the earlier film, even if they're not quite as well-developed as they would be in later years.

	The Maturity of a Film Genre in an Era of Relaxing Standards of Obscenity: Takashi Ishii's Freeze Me as a Rape-Revenge ...
		Overwhelmed by the influx of American films that threatened the viability of their industry in the 1960s, Japanese movie companies gravitated in two directions that within licensing guidelines aped their American competition: “action” films and soft-core nudity.
		These efforts culminated in the so-called pink films (pinku eige) of the 1970s, offering a steady diet of violent mayhem, including shootings, beatings, stabbings, torture, mutilation and rape.
		In fact, pink films dominated the domestic market into the early 1980s, and, in the process, productions became more viscerally sophisticated and textually more “splatter” and torture-oriented.

		There’s a very good Introduction and some Backhistory to the Yakuza-Eiga, with some funny insight on Studio-Honchos I’ve never read anywhere before.
		Mark Shilling wants to cover the Yakuza Eiga from the beginning of the last century until today – a hard task to tackle, as there are practically no movies available from the first half of the last century and too many DoV Yakuza-Eigas today.
		In the first two chapters (Directors and Actors) he managed a quite balanced selection of the best and most active Yakuza-Eiga helmers and players.
