DESCRIPTION:
One of the most influential directors of the Japanese New Wave, Shohei Imamura often explored the intersection of vitality and vulgarity; his irreverent films map the earthy, titillating, and oddly noble details of human life. This remarkable collection includes three of Imamura's most-celebrated films: PIGS AND BATTLESHIPS, THE INSECT WOMAN, and INTENTIONS OF MURDER.
In the 1960s, Japanese filmmakers responded to a stale studio system by looking for new ways to tell stories; Shohei Imamura was one of the leading figures of this new wave. With the three films in this set—Pigs and Battleships, The Insect Woman, and Intentions of Murder—Imamura truly emerged as an auteur, bringing to his national cinema an anthropological eye and a heretofore unseen taste for the irreverent. Claiming his interests lay in “the relationship of the lower part of the human body and the lower part of the social structure,” Imamura dotted the decade with earthy, juicy, idiosyncratic films featuring persevering, willful heroines. His remains a unique cinematic voice.
