Pinku from 1972.
A critique of the ideal Japanese family, here seen as militaristic, absurdly incestuous and patriarchal. And only nihilistic destruction by the young ones seems to be the only way out.
打出の小槌で背丈は伸びたがアレは元のままの一寸太郎。男女交合の秘宝万華鏡を要求するかぐや姫──。お伽噺『一寸法師』『かぐや姫』『鶴の恩返し』等をエロティックにパロディ化、しかも実写&アニメーションでという幻の珍品。
