In this episode, love is in the air and for the special occasion of Valentine's Day, we return once more into the wild world of Nikkatsu's Roman Porno series. Dustin has selected a fitting companion piece for the block of films we covered last year and that leads us once again to the amazing star power of Naomi Tani paired with the direction of Masaru Konuma. So join us as we check out Wife to Be Sacrificed from 1974. Jason weighs the film's light plot against his feelings for the subgenre in the wake of exploring several films. Dustin excitedly fills out a conspiracy board's worth of connections between this film and other movies we have covered prior. But before all that, Jason ponders the cursed phenomenon of the half-remembered movie. And so much more!

In this episode, we dip into Nikkatsu's noir catalog. Illustrator Joey Weiser joins the show to discuss A Colt is My Passport, a fun noir film featuring Joe Shishido, the man with the most distinctive cheekbones in Japanese cinema. Hosted by Perry ConstantineGuest-Starring Joey WeiserVisit Tragic Planet for Joey's work and listen his former podcast, Toho Yaro.JapanOnFilm.comThreadsBlueskyInstagramFacebookDiscordWe Made This on TwitterWe Made This Network

     This week- a pair of films where men nearly bring ruin to their closest female family member by not checking in during extended work trips.     While Saeko's husband is out of the country for work, she immediately starts a torrid affair with the piano tuner who also lives in her apartment complex. Meanwhile, their complex is being stalked by a serial murdering rapist who burns his victims to death. The second entry in Nikkatsu's violent pinku series Zoom Up opts for a more surreal giallo approach, Zoom In: Rape Apartments (aka ZOOM IN: Sex Apartments).     Kazuhiko takes the long trip to his girlfriend's isolated home immediately after returning from a six-month work trip abroad. When he fails to call his sister over the next eight days, she and her fiancé trace his steps to uncover a horrifying history and its tragic consequences. The first in Toho's Bloodthirsty Trilogy of vampire films, The Vampire Doll (aka Legacy of Dracula).     All that and Kevin's gonna need a bigger media room, Dave keeps losing the thread, and Tyler finally realizes he's been tricked into getting Nightbeast as a full back piece. Join us, won't you?    Episode 343- Fetish Zoomie Doll

The boys are back once again and this time they're heading back to the world of Nikkatsu Roman Pornos. They will be looking at Sexual Assault at a Hotel, Sex Hunter, and Woman in a Box.

In this episode, we wrap up our exploration of Nikkatsu's legendary Roman Porno series for the time being. For our last pick, Jason has selected a surprisingly relevant film blending together elements we examined in the prior two episodes. So join us as we check out Norifumi Suzuki's wild Star of David: Beautiful Girl Hunter from 1979. Dustin tries to weave the connected elements between all three films for this block while marveling at the vague profundity of the film. Jason, however, tries to articulate why the movie just falls a little short of having that special something to it. But before all that, we weigh in on Netflix's One Piece and the current state of live action anime adaptations. And so much more!

In this episode, we continue our exploration of Nikkatsu's legendary Roman Porno series. For our next pick, we checked out one of the most well-known and iconic films from the entire run. It helped spawn their own S&M focused sub-series, numerous sequels, arguably kept the company running financially, and skyrocketed Naomi Tani to eternal stardom among fans of the genre. So join us as we check out Masaru Konuma's Flower and Snake from 1974. Dustin lays down the history of this monumental film and breaks down just what kinbaku and shibari mean. Jason weighs in on the tone of the film, questioning how much of the comedy was intentional and contrasting that against our expectations going in. But before all that, sound all the alarms because the Muckverse has a new entry on the way. And so much more!

In this episode, we triumphantly return to the world of pink films and related media by casting some focus on Nikkatsu's legendary Roman Porno series that carried the company to greatness throughout the 70s and 80s. We kick things off with Dustin's pick Zoom Up: Murder Site directed by Koyu Ohara in 1979. Dustin lays down the history of Nikkatsu and the whirlwind rise and fall of their Roman Porno series. Between the swift runtime and many creative decisions, Jason finds a lot to love with this movie. But before all that, we take a moment to reflect on the impact of director William Friedkin.

This week's choice was chosen by Black Cat Jeb. And it was a cut and entertaining choice. The story was solid and it had decent character development. The overall growth was there the story was fun to watch. The only issue is that the story was rapid and really compressed but understandably so.Next week's choice is Eminence In Shadow.

This week's choice was a good one and it was a light-hearted entertaining story that doesn't take the normal route of pointing out the hero and guides you through the world of someone that is truly the hero and shows it with their actions rather than them being appointed it. It is an entertaining show that we feel you should check out as it is worth the watch.Next week's choice is Escaflowne: The Movie. Have you seen next week's choice or one of the previous ones?

Zatoichi Week 1 - In which we invite our guest, Swedish film professor Johan Nordström, who's been living in Japan for the past 15 years, to discuss Daiei Studios, Japanese cinema in general and specifically the Zatoichi films, the one-of-a-kind star of the films, Shintaro Katsu – and Japanese society.Cultpix owes a lot to Johan-san, as he has been the door-opener to both Kadokawa-Daiei and Nikkatsu in Japan, two major studios with very exciting films. Cultpix is doing three big themes with Daiei films in the Spring of 2023, the Daimajin trilogy, eight Gamera films (the giant flying turtle) and 21 Zatoichi films!These are the initial Zatoichi films (Scandinavia only for now, unfortunately, but we hope to expand them to more countries in time). Zatoichi is the longest-running action series in the history of Japanese cinema. Zatoichi is an iconic figure, played by Shintaro Katsu. It inspired Rutger Hauer's "Blind Fury", 1971 Spaghetti Western "Blindman", a remake by Takeshi Kitano and Donnie Yen in both "Rogue One" (1916) and "John Wick: Chapter 4" (2023). "The Tale of Zatoichi" (1962) - The film that kicked off the hugely popular series about Zatoichi, a humble masseur who livesd by a strict moral code. Two rival yakuza clans are at war. One hires an ailing ronin as their protector, while the other hires Ichi, Zatoichi! Lead actor Shintaro Katsu instantly made the lovable Zatoichi his own. "The Tale of Zatoichi Continues"  (1962) - Zatoichi becomes the masseur to a powerful political figure who turns out to be mentally ill. This needs to be kept secret at all cost. Featuring bigger action scenes, a tighter plot, as well as the introduction of the mysterious one-armed swordsman (played by Katsu's brother Tomisaburo Wakayama). "New Tale of Zatoichi" (1963) - The first Zatoichi film in color! Zatoichi wants to lead a quiet life, but is forced back into action when villagers are being squeezed dry by a corrupt clan leader. Zatoichi picks up his sword and upholds his moral code, as well as dispensing kick-ass justice. "Zatoichi the Fugitive" (1963) - The yakuza are unhappy because Zatoichi unexpectedly wins the sumo wrestling match in the village. They hire a ronin to kill him, but it turns out they both have a romantic link to the same woman.  "Zatoichi on the Road" (1963) - Zatoichi is asked by a dying man to bring back a girl to Edo. He agrees, but unwittingly ends up in the cross-hairs of two rival yakuza gangs, who both want to kidnap the girl. "Zatoichi and the Chest of Gold" (1964) - Zatoichi is falsely accused of having stolen the villagers' sizeable tax collection. In order to clear his name, Zatoichi is forced to fight corrupt officials, several hired assassins and a giant with a bull whip (played again by Katsu's brother Wakamaya). The stunning cinematography is by "Rashonom" cinematographer Kazuy Miyagawa. Look out for a further 14 (!) Zatoichi films later this spring and early summer. 

Dave shows Guy A HAUNTED TURKISH BATHHOUSE from 1975, a jaw-dropping mash-up of pinky violence and ghost cat horror. Toei Company puts together a great team for this. They stole Naomi Tani from Nikkatsu and threw the brilliant Kazuhiko Yamaguchi in the director's chair to give us a colourful, blood-soaked revenge trip. Featuring a vengeful cat monster that looks like the lead singer of a glam rock band! Follow Show Me Something Wrong on Twitter. Show Me Something Wrong theme song by JUNK!

This week was a nice and easy show to watch and it was not one that was heavy either. There were no deep plots or heavy parts where hit them feels hard but there were some solid story points and one that certainly made it worth the watch for us. With the main character and reasoning being rounded and with the questions being answered almost as soon as they ask them it makes it an easy story for you to follow. And while it did end on a positive note and one that soft closed it there is a season 2 coming (as of the time of this coming out) and we are excited about it.   Producers: Lantis, Toei Video, KlockWorx, Nikkatsu, Asmik Ace, Hobby Japan, AMG MUSIC, BS Fuji, Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures, Amusement Media Academy, Exa International, Bandai Namco Arts Studio: Maho Film Aired: October 2020 - December 2020 Genres: Adventure, Fantasy, Slice of Life, Isekai Source: Light Novel Number Of Episodes: 12   Jack's score: 9 / 10 Rick's score: 9 / 10   Next week's choice is Zetsuen No Tempest.

In this episode Jerry reports back from Cinema Wasteland and discusses the Nikkatsu titles released by Impulse Pictures. Next, Tim has an in-depth discussion about Massacre at Central High with Dave Kosanke of Liquid Cheese fanzine fame. Thank you so much for listening!

This week we kick off a boxset called "Pigs, Pimps, and Prostitutes" and ain't that something. It's three films by Shohei Imamura, the last three he made before leaving Nikkatsu for his own studio. The whole set really exemplifies Imamura's goal of making "messy films" with a self-described "cultural anthropologist" lens. We start off with Pigs and Battleships from 1962, a story of bad criminals, American imperialism, and feminism I guess?

Pop Screen takes its first dip into the flamboyant world of Japanese director Sion Sono with Tokyo Tribe. Adapting a manga by Santa Inoue, Sono takes the characteristically weird decision to tell it in the form of a hip-hop opera, with dialogue rapped by a mixture of actors and real Japanese rappers like Young Dais. It works better than it sounds, and Geek Show head honcho Rob Simpson is here to guide Sono newbie Graham through its neon-lit wastelands. Along the way we discuss Riki Takeuchi's colossal performance as gang boss Buppa, Sono's involvement in Nikkatsu's "pinku eiga" revival, the scene-stealing appearances by a DJing grandma, and so much more. We also wonder if we live, despite all appearances, in a golden age of maverick film-makers, and look forward to Sono's English-language debut with Nicolas Cage in Prisoners of the Ghostland. Pop Screen makes most of its money from the murder business and deals with corrupt politicians, but if you'd like to top us up we've got a Patreon which offers bonus episodes of Pop Screen, a whole exclusive movie podcast, Doctor Who reviews and more.

In the eight episode of Cultpix Radio WCPX 66.6 we count down one week left of VIP only membership, so join now while it is still cheaper, before the site opens to everyone.  We discuss what developments you will see on the site in Phase 2 (Chromecast support tops the list); lots of films and TV shows coming to Cultpix after we completed a bunch of transfers from Digibeta; restorations and films delivered to us by the Swedish Film Institute (SFI) and the British Film Institute (BFI), as well as Nikkatsu starting restoration of our secret project. The use of A.I. and machine learning (ML) for restoring, up-converting, colorizing and enhancing footage that is over 100 years old captures our attention  as one of the leading online adult sites makes its AI watch 100,000 hours of porn to learn how to do it - hopefully not going blind or getting hairy palms in the process. So which of our own films would we consider for this treatment? Grandma will never have looked so good in the buff!Bernard Hermann's strings announce our Theme Week look at Slasher Killers. What was spawned by Hitchcock's Psycho and Powell's Peeping Tom had an interesting pre-history of all the tropes of a classic slasher film being pioneered earlier, as well as early examples of the genre like Coppola's Dementia 13. Andy Milligan's The Ghastly Ones, a.k.a. Blood Rites (1968) pointed the way with its low budget, single location, excess gore is interesting in being a period slasher film. In The Horrible House on the Hill (1974) the slashers are kids, while Drive-In Massacre (1976) have some of the fattest cops you've seen in a horror film. Killer Workout / Aerobicide (1987) is such a by-the-numbers slasher that of course it has a shower scene, but at least a novel deadly instrument (oversized safety pin). Six teenagers, a weekend by a lake, one bloodthirsty maniac all makes it a Blood Lake (1987). Lastly Effects (1979) is a very meta slasher film as the film crew discusses viewers' appetite for seeing grissly scenes on film.New films this week include two from the Nordisk Tonefilm archive, with almost 50 films that we will be sharing on Cultpix in the coming months, which we also hope to make English subtitles available for. The Starlost is the 'lost' Canadian television series that could have become the new Star Trek if it had not been cancelled early. Finally New Faces (1954) sees Mel Brooks trying out ideas that would later come back in The Producers, while Eartha Kitt sings MONOTONOUS:Everyone gets into a dull routineIf they don't get a chance to change the sceneI could not be wearierLife could not be drearierIf I lived in SiberiaI'll tell ya what I meanI met a rather amusing foolWhile on my way to IstanbulHe bought me the Black Sea for my swimming poolMonotonous...

For Episode 450 we spent the entire episode with our friend, and one of our favorite working filmmakers, Kurando Mitsutake! We get the scoop on his upcoming Japanese Giallo film Maniac Driver, we have the world premiere of the opening theme to the film, and we even get a glimpse into the future of his next film.

“Who speaks of realism here?” This is it: our mammoth exploration of the work of Japanese iconoclast Seijun Suzuki. Hosts Christopher Funderburg & John Cribbs are joined by poster illustrator and peerless cinephile Tony Stella to examine the legendarily idiosyncratic and uncontrollable director. From Suzuki's start as an impossibly lazy assistant director at Shochiku to his his period as a relentlessly prolific genre filmmaker at Nikkatsu to his second act as an esteemed independent artist. His films long-suppressed by Nikkatsu and unknown outside of his native country, Suzuki's reputation took off in America in the 90s when filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino and Jim Jarmusch sang his praises (Jarmusch's Ghost Dog is famously an extended homage to Suzuki's career-breaking Branded to Kill); after a few tumultuous decades, Suzuki finally achieved the international renown he deserved. Join us as we follow the director's journey, beat by beat, film by film; from his early “youth in revolt” films like Everything Goes Wrong to his wild genre experiments like Youth of the Beast & Tokyo Drifter to his notorious “flesh trilogy” that caps off his early career with the brilliant Carmen from Kawachi. We go after it all: the Taisho trilogy, his Lupin III anime, his golf comedy, his late-period curtain call. It's here, the most comprehensive podcast study of a filmmaker like no other.

Nie można japońskiego filmu klasy B uznać za odpowiednik niskobudżetowych, często z założenia sięgających po kicz produkcji zachodnich. Granica pomiędzy mainstreamem, obrazami artystycznymi i tworzonymi za grosze jest w Kraju Kwitnącej Wiśni bardziej mglista, a w kolejnym odcinku Nightslime spróbujemy was przez ten wyjątkowy świat niczym nieskrępowanych fantazji przeprowadzić.Rozmawiamy o Seijunie Suzukim i jego burzliwej współpracy z najstarszym japońskim studiem filmowym - Nikkatsu; o niosącej antywojenne przesłanie Godzilli i jej następcach, z gigantycznym potworem Frankensteina na czele; o kultowym filmie "Dom" Nobuhiko Obayashiego i jego pomyśle na Godzillę (zrealizowanym tylko w tekście ilustrowanym przez autora "Akiry"); o ogromnym znaczeniu V-Cinema, czyli japońskiego rynku wideo; o j-horrorze i o tym, dlaczego nie należy traktować tego określenia jako tożsame z japońskim horrorem; a także o tworzonym przede wszystkim ku uciesze zachodniej publiczności widowiskowym gore (Japończycy doskonale wiedzą, jak są postrzegani przez resztę świata i nie wahają się z tego korzystać).Temat dzisiejszego odcinka wybrał Krzysztof Sieja.

Historia 1852, las fronteras de Japón se abieron a occidente y se tenía un cierto miedo de que pensaran que eran moralmente laxos y dieran mala impresión internacional. Así que empezaron a regular las imagenes relacionadas al sexo. Antes era aceptable los baños mixtos y se empezó a generar verguenza a partes el cuerpo que antes eran vistas como naturales. 1897 Llega el cine a Japon. La primera película del cine japonés es Momijimari, una pieza de teatro kabuki filmada en 1899. En el teatro Kabuki predominan las historias fantasmales, el llamado Kaidan. El teatro Kabuki es una de las formas más tradicionales de teatro japonés. Tenía tres características particulares: la historias basadas en la época feudal, música particularmente con un instrumento de cuerdas y la presencia de un narrador. Las obras teatrales no utilizaban a mujeres actrices - eran represetnados pro hombres llamados Onigama. Las obras estaban basadas en el priodo Edo (1603-1868) y abundaban las obras Kaidan. Éstas obras mostraban vestuarios ostentosos y maquillaje elevado que representaban al personaje interna y externamente - emociones y valores. El rojo significaba juventud y justicia. El azul, negro y café era para monstruos y gente mala. Kaidan: se refiera a cualquier historia de fantasmas. Otro tipo de teatro era el No - similar al Kabuki pero para las clases sociales altas. Combina l amúsica, la poesía y se le conoce en particular por el uso de máscaras. Es central que solo haya un perosnaje que no utiliza máscara, pues es él único humano. Éste se le conoce como Waki. El waki aparece tradicionalmente como aquella persona que advierte a otros sobre la aparición de un fantasma o de una maldición. Generalmente eran dramas donde el fantasma de un guerrero regresaba a la batalla donde había sido asesinado y estaba reviviendo la escena una y otra vez. Aunque eran fantasmas, no eran figuras de horror. Sino, sufrimiento trágico que debe aceptar la derrota o muerte prematura. El cine y el teatro estuvieron fuertemente relacionados porque con la llegada del cine, también se creó el sistema de Estudios (como Hollywood) y los dueños de los teatros, eran también los dueños de los Estudios. La forma en que se presentaban las películas, era similar a la del teatro. Películas que se hacían famosas luego las transformaban en obras y viceversa. Además, la presentación de películas presentaba también esos tres elementos. Las tomas eran de frente al escenario y fijas, simulando el teatro. El sistema de Estudios El sistema de estudios a diferencia de Hollywood que estaba centrado en el productor, estaba centrado en el director. El director era quien elegía a su equipo y no solo eso, este sería su equipo para futuras producciones. Es decir, se mantenía una lealtad que debía respetarse y honrarse. Esto le daba mayor libertad creativa a los directores, pues ellos tenían la última palabra. Los estudios más importantes: Takejiro Otani (Ozu, Akira Kurowawa y Takashi Miike) Shochiku - primero en introducer mujeres actrices Nikkatsu - que se enfocó en dramas sociales en contextos modernos Yurei (Fantasmas) Mitología japonesa, las yurei son fantasmas mujeres que quieren venganza. Vestidas de blanco, de cabello negro y largo No tienen piernas y mueven las muñecas sin sentido Estos fantasmas aparecen por el On - una deuda queno fue pagada o personas que murieron sin poder curbrir sus responsabilidades familiares. Esto crea un desbalance y conecta al mundo de los vivos con el de los muertos. Primeras cintas La primera cinta de horror japonesa es de 1910: Botan Doro. Una historia de fantasmas (Yurei) y es la segunda historia más adaptada al cine, TV y OVA (only video available) después de Yotsuya Kaidan (El Fantasma de Yotsuya) Para 1920, los tres estudios mencionados eran dueños de 3/4 de todos los teatros de Japón. En 1923, muy tarde para la época, introducen el sonido al cine. Ésto porque era demasiado popular el uso de Benshi (narrador). Incluso había narradores estrella que todos querían nescuchar. En 1936, un hombre poderoso y constructor de los trenes en Japón, Ichizo Kobayashi, fundó Toho abandonando el sistema de actores estrella. Antes de la WWII, este estudio era el mayor productor de imagenes de propaganda. Después de la WWII, este estudio es quien daría luz a Godzilla. Toei - fundada en 1956, es unod e los estudios más importantes de Japón, casa de Hayao Miyazaki, director de el viaje de Chihiro y los estudios Ghibli. El sistema de Estudios hoy en día ha decaído, por ejemplo, en 2003, 234 de 287 películas, provenían de estudios independientes. Esta prevalencia se viene dando desde 1960. La razón es que los mismos estudios, promovían a directores independeintes. Epoca de OroCon el triunfo de Rashomon de Akira Kurosawa en el festival de Venecia en 1950, y logra el Oscar a mejor película extranjera; es cuando el mundo voltea a Japón.curiosamente toca la sexualidad desde un ángulo criticado en Japón: l ahistoria de una violación que pasa a segundo plano (e invalidada) en un juicio de muerte a un samurai, donde la palabra del bandido (violador) carita tiene más peso y empatía de la audiencia que el de los demás.Se da la apertura, y comienza a participar en festivales.Sin embargo, existía una gran censura al arte japonés por la ocupación estadounidense al termino de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Los aliados pidieron una redición incondicional por parte de los japoneses. Lo peor que pudo sucederles como nación, donde su sistema de valores por centenas de años favorecía la muerte honorable sobre la derrota. De 1945 a 1952 - el colonizador se volvió colonia, ocupado por los aliados. Esto dejó un trauma en la sociedad que nunca se ha borrado y se puede ver en el cine a partir de los años 1950 los arquetipos como "the wronged woman" o "a la mujer a quien le hicieron mal" Para asegurar que "Japón nunca volviera a realizar disturbios mundiales" la división Civil de Censura restringió todas las narativas KAbukis, todo lo que involucrara la lealtad feudal, sacrificio. Buscaron otras formas de darle la vuelta a las regulacione spor medio de poner la acción en otro periodo, como el Meiji. Esto era porque las cintas retrataban historias donde los espadachines justicieros japoneses incitaban a la rebelión (genero llamado Jidaigeki). El enemigo a vencer era el invasor.Se incitaba a los valores del sistema "ie" que promovían el honor, la lealtad y alta valoración a la comunidad. Los americanos traían consigo sus propios valores, con modelos más democráticos que perseguían deseos individuales y capitalistas. El sistema ie consistía en 5 clases: el samurai en la cina, seguido por aldeanos, artesanos, mercantes. La quitan clase, y la más baja, era de los exiliados, aquellos que trabajaban en profesiones impirtas. Responsabilidad de la casa recaía en el jefe de la familia que a su vez, tenía responsabilidad de la comunidad en general y al emperador. El hijo mayor es el sucesor, los demás hijos hacen sus vidas. Si no hay heredero, adoptan a uno para que siga el nombre de la familia. El sistema oprimía a la mujer, ya que las reglas de comportamiento eran dictadas por su obediencia a sus padres, esposo e hijos en ese orden. Están los conceptos GIRI y NINJO. Giri es el sentido de obligación y responsabilidades a los superiores, la familia y a los ancetros. Es el tejido social que une a Japón. Ninjo es la compasión a los desprivilegiados y simpatía por otros. ON es el sistema de obligaciones que une a los vivos con los miertos (en terminos de deuda) como Giri. Era natural el sacrificio propio para reponer la reputación de la familia, si era deshonorada. Claro, que mejor forma de promoer tus valores que con la regulación de lo que se puede producir. Agregaron regulaciones de censura en Japón. Declararon obsceno el mostrar los genitales femeninos y escenas sexuales explicitas. Pero esta misma censura, impulso el cine de horror, se ve beneficiado ya que los estadounidenses lo consideraban historias del folklore japonés y no revolucionarias. En el año 1960 es donde se viene lo que se conoce como "La Nueva Ola" que es la que reta los valores tradicionales japoneses, el discurso romántico que se reemplaza por la sexualidad objetivizada y el cuerpo violado. En 1976, resalta una película que se llama Imperio de los sentidos, que está basada en la historia real de Sada Abe, quien tiene una relación sadomasoquista con su esposa, Kichizo Ishida. Esta relación, llega a tal intensidad, con incremento que hacia el final de la película, termina matando y castrando surante el acto sexual a Sada. Luego es arrestada por cargar en su bolsa del Kimono el miembro de Sada. Por esta película, el director Oshima fue acusado por obscenidad, pues mostraba la genitalia. En 1982, le quitaron los cargos y se permitió representar el sexo de manera más explícita en el cine japonés. Después de la WWII se viene un fuerte conflicto de identidad que proviene de la comparasión de uno contra el otro. En este caso, japón como su lenguaje, cultura y gente se sientes únicos pero al estar ocupados por los aliados y traer estos nuevos valores, se vuelve confuso quienes son realmente y nace este deseo de reencontrar su identidad. Especilamente, después de la gran derrota sufrida y el aftermath de la guerra: dos ciudades en ruinas y radioactivas, la modernización de japón con todo el desecho industrial que perjudica al medio ambiente. Las víctimas sobrevivientes que por años sus generaciones tenían deformaciones. La idea de que ya no le deben a sus antepasados, sino esta idea actual del consumismo y materialismo. Reconstruir al país implicaba el estar trabajando largas horas diariamente, absentismo del padre en la familia.todo este escenario con tanta ansiedad social es una receta para crear historias de horror: depresión, recesión, post guerra, inflación, confusión de identidad nacional y personalMundo de vivos y muertosLos japoneses creen que los espíritus habitan en el mismo mundo pero en un plano diferente. Por eso, deben de honrarse las deudas o responsabilidades pasadas de generación en generación. De otra forma, regresan a como espíritus vengativos. Si cumplen con sus obligaciones, se vuelven espíritus positivos y hasta deidades.Taro HiraiSurge el considerado el Edgar Allan Poe japonés, el novelista Taro Hirai quien redefinio con sus escritos el terror japonés respetando sus códigos tradicionales, pero mezclándolos con ciertos esquemas de la literatura anglosajona, la cual conocía a la perfección.20 min - Introducción al cine de horrorNobuo NakagawaEs uno de los principales realizadores de la época de oro del terror japonés. Onna Kyuketsuki (la mujer vampiro, 1959). Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan (1959). Historia donde al violarse los valores tradicionales termina en tragedia. primero in samurai exiliado Iemon (no siguió el código de honor Bushido) quiere casarse con Oiwa. Como no lo dejan (clases) su padre, termina matando al padre y su acompañante. La hermana de Oiwa, Sode quiere casarse con otro. Matan a su prometido. Cansado de su estado de pobre, corteja Iemon a una noble adinerada. Termina en todos muertos básicamente - tanto Iemon, su cuñado, la hermanas - dando como ejemplo que este camino de deslealtad y "sucio" no llega a nada. Todo porque los fantasmas de los muertos, aparecen y los tormentan. Concepto de MONO-NO-AWARE: la impresión de la nada. Esto es recurrente en el cine de horror japonés, donde la consecuencia es un destino solo, sin nada. Como el dicho, más vale pájaro en mano que ciento volado. El que se va por los del cielo, termina sin nada. Años 60'sAparece lo que se denomina cintas de terror para turistas.Son cintas que se alejan de lo tradicional, abordando lo intelectual, contando con gran producción y que se considera excesivamente artificial.Estas cintas sufren del Efecto Kurosawa, donde en el interior de Japón son rechazadas, pero fuera del país son aceptadas y galardonadas.Trilogía de autor para consumo internacional o terror para turistas: Kaidan (1964). Onibaba (1964) cuenta con una mascara icónica en el cine japonés y porque no del cine de horror en general. Hace referencia al las obras estilo No La máscara es una expresión externa de lo que la mujer tiene de dentro. Kuroneko (1968).Basada en el folkor japonés de el fantasma/vampiro que se transforma en gato. si no les cortan la cola cuando son jóvenes (a los gatos) se pueden convertir en nekomata - gato goblin - que posee el poder de la muerte. Así nace el género bakeneko mono (monster cat tales). Una mujer y su hija son violedas y asesinadas en su casa por soldados. Un gato lame la sangre de los cuerpos lo cual preserva sus espíritus (mitología japonesa). Regresan con look muy elegante, muy hermosas y atraen a los samurai su casa, para después matarlos. Un soldado lo mandan a resolver el conflicto, pues están asesinado soldados y cuando llega, se d acuenta que es su madre y esposa, los fantasmas. Aquí el código dice: lo que dija el jefe militar es lo que debe hacerse y él debe sacrificarse por la comunidad apaciguando la maldad. Por otro lado, la esposa había hecho un pacto con el inframundo para regresar y matar Samurai. Su esposo, era un reconocido samurai y tení que matarlo. Ambos están negando sus responsabilidades... por 7 días de pasión. Se revela contr ala madre, le corta un brazo (pata de gato) y la lleva al jefe como prueba. Se vuelve un héroe y lo mandan purificar. En el proceso, regresa a la casa donde estuvo con la esposa y encuentra la antigua casa donde fueron asesinadas y se ve un gato merodeando. La consecuencia a sus actos fue el mono-no-aware, se quedó sin nada. Aquí inova la película porque comunmente, en las obras obras Kabuki, las mujeres fantasma se vengan de quienes las dañaron. En Kuroneko no, la maldición es un pacto de matar a cualquier Samurai y van y los seducen para matarlos. Pinku eigaEran las cintas roman porno que se les conoce como las que salvaron a la industria del cine japonés.La primera era pink eiga empieza en 1964 y termina en 1972.Se utilizaba el sexo como herramienta política.Años 70'sSe ve muy influenciado por la estetica británica de la compañía Hammer Films.Vampiros y licantropia se incorporan a las cintas japonesas.Ejemplo: Trilogia de mujer vampiroMujer vampiro (1970).Los ojos del vampiro (1971).La rosa vampiro (1974). La segunda ola pink eiga de 1972 al 82 comienzan los estudios Nikkatsu y Toei a realizar películas sexualmente violentas conocidas como pinky violence. Aquí aparecía el subgénero del fantasma erótico. Aquí ya empiezan otras variantes donde se ve el fantasma que se suicidó. Angel Guts: 4 filmes que superficialmente pueden verse como de explotación, pero marcan como va cambiando la sexualidad entorno al abuso y violación: Proviende un un manga y la adaptaron alc ine, con 4 adaptaciones por 4 directores diferentes. Se ve el arco de Nami: primero sobrevive un gang rape, luego la tratan de "ayudar" proponiéndole que le tomen fotos, tiempo después Nami se vuelve prostituta y la degran al máximo (orinan y violan por dinero del mejor postor) y finalmente se vuelve enfermera y no permite que la violen un paciente en diferentes ocasiones. Años 80'sTraería una renovación al cine fantástico de Japón con la presencia del realizador Shinya Tsukamoto. Su trabajo muestra una combinación de terror, cyberpunk.La Aventura del Chico del Poste Eléctrico (1987) donde el protagonista debe de combatir a un grupo de vampiros motorizados.Akira (1988)Pero no es hasta su opera prima con la que revoluciona el horror japonés, la famosa Tetsuo (1989) con su mezcla de gore, sexo y body horror, pero aquí la transformación es hacia una maquina.Gore JaponesEl horror japonés será mundialmente conocido por ser la creadora de una de las etapas mas sangrientas de la historia del cine: el cine gore japonés. Se llevo a niveles demenciales.Guts of a Beauty (1986).Tetsuo (1989)Organ (1996).Naked Blood (1995).El falso mito del snuff japonesSe llevo tanto al limite del gore, que se creyo que eran cintas snuff reales.Surgió a finales de los años 80 cuando de forma clandestina empezó a circular un video donde una chica era brutalmente torturada hasta asesinarla.Se trataba de Akuma no Jikken (1988), primer episodio de la serie Ginea Pig.Pero la mas famosa es Chiniku no hana o Flowers Of Flesh & Blood (1989), que es la que sitúa a Ginea Pig como un mito en el horror japonés y el snuff.Los creadores tuvieron que presentarse a declarar a las autoridades que todo era una película, ficción.El pobre actor que interpreto al asesino, era hasta buscado por las autoridades.El resultado, tuvieron que editar y distribuir las peliculas de forma comercial, incluir créditos y hasta el grado de incluir documentales de como se realizaron estos cortes.90'sRingu, la renovación que sacudió al mundo.El cine japonés se convirtió en la base de las películas por venir, todos empezaron a realizar "cine a la japonesa" gracias a Ringu (1998).Fue un regreso a lo básico, la historia de un fantasma (yurei). utiliza mitos y folklore clásicos, pero de una manera occidental, mezcla perfecta y el secreto del éxito de Ringu.Se convirtió en la película mas importante del cine de horror japonés.Inicia una oleada de cine de horror japonés, algunas muy buenas, otras viles copias de Ringu.Destaca la saga de Ju-On, como segundo pilar del cine de horror japonés.Un dato curioso, es lo que significa el fantasma femenino que data de más de 400 años.Japón es un país donde la mujer esta sometida por el hombre, símbolos de esto son los grandes peinados, la vestimenta, con grandes capas de tela y el maquillaje.Los fantasmas japoneses femeninos le provocan un terror a los hombres, con Sadako, les recordó que la mujer muerta es poderosa, estando muerta es capaz de hacer justicia por propia mano, recuerden que en la religion japonesa, los fantasmas existen y conviven en este plano dimensional, si es posible.Los fantasmas femeninos tienen esta larga cabellera suelta, ya no usan los ropajes, solo el camisón, son libres y ya no están sometidas a las leyes del hombre.2000'sNeo-gore Japones, cintas donde la sangre a borbotones y la ciencia ficción desbordada son poco terroríficas, es 100% visual, ya que carecen de una historia creíble.Battle Royale (2000)Suicide Club (2001)Ichi the Killer (2001)Noroi (2005)Tokyo Gore Police (2008).Vampire Girl VS. Frankenstein Girl (2009).Meatball Machine (2005).Créditos:Radio Horror es producido por Caro Arriaga y Rael Aguilar.Edición por Matías Beltrando desde Destek Soporte.Música Closing Theme Hounds of Love por Dan Luscombe (Intro)Nightlong por FSM Team (Outro)★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Filmspezial 85 Zwei filmische Meisterwerke, die ihren Teil dazu beitrugen, ihren Regisseur zeitweise arbeitslos zu machen: Seijun Suzukis "Tokyo Drifter" (東京流れ者) und "Branded to kill" (殺しの烙印)! Und mit diesen Filmen liefern wir quasi das Prequel zu einer unserer #Japanuary-Folgen (damals besprachen wir "Zigeunerweisen" (ツィゴイネルワイゼン) und "Kagero-za" (陽炎座)). Im Gegensatz zu den anderen beiden Filmen geht es hier in zwielichtige Gefilde: Während Tetsuya Watari voller Anstand und Moral für das Gute kämpft, versucht Joe Shishido (der Mann mit den Backen) den Meisterschaftsgürtel im Totschießen zu gewissen, währen Jan Lukas die Handlung ignoriert. Funktioniert. Seid also bereit für poppig bunte Anzüge, singende Yakuza, aus der Hose tropfenden Whisky, Insektenbrei, transparente Böden, Sex auf Treppen, schwertschingende Menschenmassen, eine Saloonschlägerei, generelle Grenzenlosigkeit, dicke Backen, eine Dusche im Wohnzimmer, dänische (oder französische?)

Nun kommt es nur drauf an, dass diese Folge nicht zu verwirrend wird. Sonst wird uns von Nikkatsu noch ein Aufführungsverbot auferlegt, weshalb wir uns dann auf die schwarze Liste klagen müssten.

Martin Kessler is joined by Chris Funderberg and John Cribbs of thepinksmoke.com to discuss the films of two-time Palme d'Or award-wining director Shohei Imamura. They talk about his dark subject matter, his bleak point of view, the phases of his career, and his wild sense of humour. They discuss how Imamura has been handled by critics, compare him to New German Cinema, Luis Buñuel, and discuss why comparing him to other Japanese filmmakers may be a misleading.

Set up at the turn of the century, The Nikkatsu Corporation halted production during the war years, only to return with a vengeance in the mid-50s for a long run of genre-defining cinema. From the "Sun Tribe" films of a new, more freespirited youth culture to a strong (if somewhat belated) Japanese take on Film Noir through to their famed "Borderless Action" films, Nikkatsu was the go to company for such internationally feted directors as Keiichi Ozawa, Yasaharu Hasebe, Chusei Sone, Koreyoshi Kurahara and the much beloved Seijun Suzuki! Introducing the world to such Asian screen icons as Akira Kobayashi, Jo Shishido, Yujiro Ishihara and Meiko Kaji, Nikkatsu would eventually leave their gangster films, action and even "pinky violence" epics behind in favor of a more cost-effective (and quite voluminous) exclusive focus on "pink film" (with starlets like Naomi Tani, Ran Masaki and Junko Mabuki in tow). Join us tonight as we speak to the earlier end of the Nikkatsu history, as we talk Sun Tribe, Nikkatsu Noir, Borderless Action and Seijun Suzuki, only here on Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine! Week 39 Nikkatsu pt. 1: Sun Tribe, Noir, Borderless Action and Seijun Suzuki

Not Chick flick Eclectica This week's episode features one of the most anticipated releases of the last few years - which means heated and very divisive opinions are on the cards. With a full cast of unsupportive characters, Off the Shelf enjoys Nikkatsu in Massacre Gun, glam-rock musicals in Phantom of the Paradise, classic Brit gangster flicks in The Long Good Friday, and a surprising found footage piece with Afflicted.  Our film of the Week is Joss Whedon's [The] Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Boil some rice and kick back with our discussion of Seijun Suzuki's madcap Yakuza film, Branded to Kill. We're joined by Coffin Jon of VCinema and Bill By Force of Outside the Cinema.

This week, we go inside the Independent Film Festival Of Boston...or try to, anyway... You See, we both got sick and we couldn't attend as many films as we wanted to, but we still got to see some of them, thanks to the generosity of the filmmakers... So this show is dedicated to the films we saw, and a great concert too...reviews of WE ARE WIZARDS, CRAWFORD, and THE GREENING OF SOUTHIE...plus complete coverage of the fantastic WizardRock concert. Plus a segment on the recent Brattle Theater series of Nikkatsu films, email, and a few other odds and ends. Don't forget the beginning of Made May, which starts TOMORROW with "Hollywood Vs The Mob - Real Life vs Reel Life" As always, complete show notes can be found on our podcast site at http://subjectcinema.com and our full site, http://popcornnroses.com! See you TOMORROW!
