and for a bit of FUN the JAPAN CALL GIRL Page Can pornography be art?
In his mid-fifties, fat and always slightly transpiring. That is
the idea of a porn consumer in our country. Corresponding to this are the not
ony technically unbearable movies that go over the counter everyday in the local
sex shops. Like robots the actors rush from one copulation to the other, presented
in close-ups or in great detail, requiring of actors only a flexible body (and
a big dick, the translator). Head and heart are left out. It is a different story
in the land of the rising sun. The Japanese "pinkku"-movies are also not appropriate
for prudish minds, but they tell real stories. And the open display of genitals
and pubic hair is still strictly forbidden by the Japanese censorship authorities.
Pink movies follow certain rules. Professionally shot on 16 mm or 35 mm, a
length of about 60 minutes and most important: the budget is limited to 35.000
US-dollars. The demand in Japan is immense: the porn industry spews out up to
six movies per month. Not at the expense of the content which isn`t subject to
any limitations. Directors like experimental filmmaker Hiroyuki Oki ("I like you,
I like you vely much") use the pink-film system to realize their own real movie
ideas. This has led to a blossoming of the Japanese film avantgarde in the porn
field - apart form the major studios. - Jon
