Spine 472: Pigs and Battleships

from Lost in Criterion · host Lost in Criterion

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?
