Akiyuki Nosaka

Kiku-chan to Ookami is, like most of the Sensou Douwa specials, based on a short story by Nosaka Akiyuki. It is set in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo (the Chinese province of Manchuria) during the closing days of Word War II. Life for the Japanese colonists is tranquil, with none of the hazards and shortages occurring in the Japanese homeland. Then, on August 9, 1945, the Soviet Union, fulfilling its obligations to the Western Allies, declares war and invades. The local Kwantung Army folds up like a house of cards, leaving the Japanese colonists exposed to the invading Russians and Chinese.

1945年、神戸は大空襲に見舞われ、清太は心臓の悪い母を先に防空壕へ避難させ、幼い妹節子を連れて後を追う。空襲の後、避難所である学校に着いた清太だったが、そこには、全身にやけどを負い瀕死の母の姿があった。母はそのまま息を引き取り、清太は節子と共に西宮にある叔母の家に間借りするが、次第に清太たちを厄介者扱いするようになる。嫌味を言われ、ご飯も満足に食べさせてもらえない生活に耐え切れなくなった清太は、家出を決意し、節子と２人で池のほとりの横穴での生活を始める。

Based on a story by Akiyuki Nosaka.

The film portrays a satirical view of today's heartless money-oriented society.

Subu makes pornographic films. He sees nothing wrong with it. They are an aid to a repressed society, and he uses the money to support his landlady, Haru, and her family. From time to time, Haru shares her bed with Subu, though she believes her dead husband, reincarnated as a carp, disapproves. Director Shohei Imamura has always delighted in the kinky exploits of lowlifes, and in this 1966 classic, he finds subversive humor in the bizarre dynamics of Haru, her Oedipal son, and her daughter, the true object of her pornographer-boyfriend’s obsession. Imamura’s comic treatment of such taboos as voyeurism and incest sparked controversy when the film was released, but The Pornographers has outlasted its critics, and now seems frankly ahead of its time.
