    Imamura's style might reasonably be compared to the trippy works of an imaginary distant Asian cousin of David Lynch.

    A unique and incredibly odd examination of sexuality in a world of greed and repression, where the human, personal aspect of sex is increasingly being incorporated by economics, legalities, and mechanical desire.

    Imamura's greatest work. The Pornographers is an incredibly funny black comedy with the japanese genius style of filmmaking.

    It's a tad on the lengthy side but this film is definitely one that gets you thinking, especially about voyeurism. I like the dysfunctional family element in the film. It's dificult for me to place what exactly it is about the film that spoke to me.
