The most cryptic and formally radical pink film from the most politically radical director ever to work in the field...
Inflatable Sex Doll of the Wastelands (1967) Meeting in a blasted, barren wilderness, hit-man Sho (Yûichi Minato) is engaged by wealthy real estate agent Naka (Masayoshi Nogami) to track down his kidnapped lover, Sae (Noriko Tatsumi). Naka shows him a poor quality film of the girl being beaten and assailed by a gang of four yakuza, which sets Sho out on a trail that brings him back into contact with the gang leader, Ko (Shôhei Yamamoto), who was responsible for the murder of his own girlfriend five years before. As he embarks on his quest through the dreamlike city scapes of the late-60's Tokyo underworld for a fateful 3pm barroom rendezvous with his nemesis, Sho becomes increasingly unsure as to whether the girl really existed in the first place.
Gushing Prayer (1971) High-school students Yasuko (Aki Sasaki), Yoichi (Makiko Kim), Koichi (Hiroshi Saitô) and Bill (Yûji Aoki) want to escape from their overwhelming sense of alienation from the world around them and indulge in group sex to explore whether they can forge their own path liberated from a corrupt adult society. Yasuko is driven by the goading encouragement of her peers to feel what it is like to be a prostitute, with sex reduced to a mere economic transaction. She sets out an odyssey of self-exploration in search of complete satiation.
