A classic of the Japanese "porn novel"
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
A nineteen-year-old prostitute with a strong character, Tome sells her charms in the poor neighborhoods of Osaka. She lives with her mother, who has the same profession as her, and her mentally handicapped brother, the only person who really matters to her. In order to not depend on anyone, Tome decides to work for herself. To do this, she will have to face threats from pimps and competition...
Author of the subversive Cat Nights in Shinjuku and The House of Perversities , director Noboru Tanaka gave his letters of nobility to the "porn novel" at a time when the genre was the glory of Nikkatsu studios. Recalling the cinema of Kenji Mizoguchi ( Women of the Night , Street of Shame ) for its virulent social charge, Confidentiel - Sex Market of Girls paints the bitter portrait of a young woman who refuses to bow to the dictates imposed by morality, that of men and family. An extremely radical film, to be discovered in its new 4K restoration.
