Synopsis
This collection presents three classics in 4K: Pigs and Battleships vividly portrays life around a U.S. naval base; The Insect Woman establishes the characteristically resilient Imamura heroine, which broke every rule for portraying women in Japanese film; and Intentions of Murder continues and perfects this portrayal in epic form. Also included are Imamura’s rarely-seen first three features: Stolen Desire follows the travails of a vivacious theatre troupe; Nishi Ginza Station is a tale of infidelity executed as a musical; and Endless Desire sees ex-soldiers digging for wartime loot.
