I'm back at CSSSA. For my first week teaching drawing, my students made "body-mapping" projects in small groups. These drawings were shown at Cal Poly Pomona's Kellogg Art Gallery. #artteacher #csssa #californiastatesummerschoolforthearts #drawing #arteducation
Love it or hate it, Japanese Adult Video (AV) gave Hisayasu Satō room to experiment. Bizarre Club (1994) is a strange, provocative showcase featuring lipstick, a tube, food, and the legendary Ryuji Yamamoto. Art. boxd.it/fh2YrN 女虐と恥態 高野ひとみ (1994) #hisayasusato #vhs #japanesemovie #ryujiyamamoto
Catch my essay for “Antiporno” on @filmmovement.bsky.social set “Roman Porno Reboot Collection Vol. 1.” Available on @vinsyn.bsky.social 💿 vinegarsyndrome.com/products/rom... #bluray #romanporno #nikkatsu #filmmovement #filmessay
"Antiporno" (2016) changed me. I wrote about Sion Sono’s film for the new blu-ray. Then I drew myself as its poster. #sionsono #paperart #drawing #japanesemovie
Shinji Imaoka's early years, collected: three films spanning the gap between his Female Body Collection AV work and later breakthroughs like Lunchbox. Arguably the most fascinating pink film director of his generation. Demeking even has a tiny kaiju. #shinjiimaoka #dvd #pinkfilm #90smovies #pinku
A "bad" debut reveals the filmmaker before the masterpieces do. Longing, broken dreams, and violence unfold in a bar run by Yuka Asagiri. Rough around the edges, but unmistakably Ryuichi Hiroki. boxd.it/fcvV7N 性虐！女を暴く (1982) #pinkfilm #ryuichihiroki #cultfilm
I wish all films looked as good as Ryuichi Hiroki’s pink films. Fun fact: the scriptwriter would name his son (wrestler/director Yumehito Imanari) after this film. Be proud! boxd.it/fbyumt #pinkfilm #ryuichihiroki #beach #landscapes #letterboxd
Was Yukio Mishima gay? It's a beautiful mystery 🌈 In Beautiful Mystery (1983), Ren Osugi's "Makio Mitani" imagines a Mishima who could embrace men. I made this drawing as a tribute to both Mishima and Osugi (right head). #YukioMishima #PinkFilm #QueerCinema #QueerArt #Drawing
This delivery man has a housewife mystery to solve. It's scored like a Giallo (and saturated into madness). boxd.it/f4QJS3 売春グループ 欲情する人妻 (1979) #GenjiNakamura #nikkatsu #pinkfilm
Some brothers & sisters are too close. Girl Rope Doll is a "Pink Curtain" for the gutter: a coming-of-age drama written by Rokurō Mochizuki. Haruhiko Arai acts under an alias. They won the race for the heart boxd.it/f3N0hL 少女縄人形 (1983) Director: Genji Nakamura #pinkfilm #genjinakamura #vhs #1980s
Genji Nakamura flips the "cabin in the woods" where no secrets are left unrevealed. Be scared. Be awakened. boxd.it/f3hBdx Chijo shôten / 痴女昇天 (1977) #pinkfilm #japanesemovie #1970s
A kissing contest. A struggling writer. An office lady. Can she help him achieve his dream? boxd.it/f2NRH9 濡れた唇 しなやかに熱く Dir. Genji Nakamura #pinkfilm #japanesemovie #vhs #letterboxd
Poetic and absurd, learn how “Beautiful Mystery” (1983) channels Yukio Mishima. “Intrude upon your kindness” or listen to our podcast episode diving into the film. Whichever is easier 🎙️ www.spreaker.com/episode/genj... #pinkfilm #gaymovie #genjinakamura #yukiomishima #podcast
In between muscles and Yukio Mishima, “Beautiful Mystery” (1983) stands out in gay pink film. Don’t get distracted with our pink film podcast 💪 spreaker.com/episode/genji-… #filmpodcast #workingout #gym #genjinakamura #queercinema #pinkfilm

Bad boys, bad hair. Genji Nakamura directs bōsōzoku (暴走族) in 1976 for Nikkatsu, before "Go for Broke" (1985) boxd.it/f1NmET セミドキュメント 暴走ＳＥＸ集団 監督: 中村幻児 #暴走族 #biker #vhs #genjinakamura #japanesemovie #pinkfilm
Violence, music, and family trauma. That's pink film. Good vibes. Genji Nakamura before "Go for Broke" (1985). New Letterboxd review of Schoolgirl Pleasure: boxd.it/f0cpVb #Letterboxd #pinku #japanesefilm #cultfilm #cinema
A hitman. A ventriloquest. For Nikkatsu, Atsushi Yamatoya riffs on "Branded to Kill" and continues the surreal visions of his mentor Seijun Suzuki. It's that good: boxd.it/eZIsST "Trapped in Lust" (1973) 愛欲の罠 #nikkatsu #romanporno #surrealism #70sjapan #AtsushiYamatoya #filmreview
Still not over how Ecstasy of the Black Rose (1975) used a cat lapping milk for overdubbed moaning in the film-within-a-film. Peak practical sound design or absolute madness? Both. Nikkatsu never disappoints. youtube.com/watch?v=Mtsx... #Cinema #WeirdMovieFacts #meow #pinkfilm #tatsumikumashiro
Catch my essay on the Kani Blu-ray for "A New Love in Tokyo" (@vinsyn.bsky.social). I wrote about director Banmei Takahashi's pink films and friend/greatest actor Shirô Shimomoto. #bluray #vinegarsyndrome #banmeitakahashi #filmessay
Be honest: would you recognize the movie before reading the caption? 👀🌻 I made wearable art inspired by A New Love in Tokyo (1994), directed by Banmei Takahashi; specifically the Joyce Lee art/design. #WearableArt #FilmTwitter #JapaneseCinema #ArtTwitter #Cosplay
Whatever it takes to seal the deal. Rei Akasaka (赤坂麗) plays a wife who sells used cars and her boss is played by the legend Yūichi Minato. 🚗 boxd.it/eZ41rr 宇能鴻一郎の 桃さぐり (1985) 監督: 西村昭五郎 #nikkatsu #80sMovies #vhs #romanporno #赤坂麗
There is only one Naomi Tani. She's magnetic in Tatsumi Kumashiro's "Ecstasy of the Black Rose" (1975). Listen to us cover this wonderfully meta-film 🎤 open.spotify.com/episode/3hrz... 黒薔薇昇天 監督: 神代辰巳 #naomitani #nikkatsu #japanesemovie #1970s #podcast #pinkfilm
Even Nikkatsu had a trans awakening: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... Listen to: Painful Bliss: Final Twist: camp, carnage, and a trans woman seizing power from Naomi Tani's iconic image. One of Tatsumi Kumashiro's boldest films 🎙️ #JapaneseCinema #QueerCinema #PinkFilm #FilmPodcast #CultCinema
A boarding house to rent. A gay awakening in white face paint and a happy surprise. Nikkatsu spoofs "Widow's Boarding House" in 1978! boxd.it/eXzHej (秘) 肉体調教師 #nikkatsu #moviereview #pinkfilm #japanesemovie #1970s
Izumi Shima has much to learn at the "tea ceremony." The yearnings of a rich wife told by Nikkatsu: boxd.it/eXi2Rb #izumishima #志麻いづみ #vhs #nikkatsu #moviereview
