Recently unearthed this superb, intensely erotic ad mat from Yasuzo Masumura's Evil Trio (Dai akuto, '68), a great little crime melodrama from Daei Motion Picture Co., Ltd.Second-billed Kei Sato also appeared in the director's amazing Razor 2 - The Snare.
In the 60's and 70's, Daei had a New York office on 1350 Avenue of the Americas.
Shohei Immamura's Profound Desire of the Gods ('68) focuses on the inevitable industrialization of an island society built on incestuous couplings.Definitely one of the director's most beautiful films, made after The Pornographers ('66), but before Vengeance is Mine ('79).
Toho announces production on Hiromichi Horikawa's '68 Sogeki, a film rarely appearing in the West as Sun Above, Death Below.I'm a big fan of the director's Aku no monsho (Brand of Evil, '64), an intense crime melodrama.
