With young filmmakers seizing an opportunity to hone their craft, countless soon-to-be celebrated directors created work which were more daring, unusual, and often shocking than just about any of the other genre cinema ergering across the globe. Pink Line will present exclusive new restorations of select works from key Asian erotic filmmakers, with a focus on Japan's Pinku Eiga genre.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuing his tireless output of inventive films, Hisayasu Satô's work on the cusp of the 1990s shows us an artist experimenting and growing within the Pink genre, with some surprisingly ambitious entries. Our fifth volume of this series shows the director's recurrent tropes of alienation, loneliness, voyeurism, and surveillance continuing to evolve. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn BRAIN SEX, two inquisitive young women discover a lone pirate radio DJ operating from a van. Broadcasting unofficial thoughts and opinions, the show gets increasingly complicated when the system of illicit broadcasting changes hands and takes on a covert voyeur angle. Descriptions of strangers' fetish-laden sex described over the radio take a turn after happening upon (and engaging directly with) a serial killer, and a curious exploration of motives then ensues. Manipulating the multiple layers of vicarious distance between people created through not only video surveillance but also audio broadcast, Satô continues to explore concepts including deviance, privacy, intimacy, and the media, with sweeping photography of daytime rooftops and tightly framed night scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSatô deliberately rerouted the \u003cem\u003eMolester's Train\u003c\/em\u003e with his own thoughtful imprimatur on the long-lived series. Eschewing light entirely and the comedic tone common to the other entries, BIRTHDAY (aka \u003cem\u003eMolester's Train: Nasty Behavior\u003c\/em\u003e) tells the tale of a young woman so demoralized that she's bent on violent self-destruction on her twentieth birthday. However, once exposed to a serial train groper who also videotapes his work, for whom loneliness and abandonment also resonate, a fresh and revitalizing attraction begins to take root. Within this focus on two highly troubled characters, the unexpected emerges. A highly unlikely, and surprisingly tender, entry within an equally unlikely film series, we see Satô's almost otherworldly facility in shaping even a rote concept into something entirely his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spare character exercise FUGA MUSIC FOR ALPHA AND BETA (aka \u003cem\u003ePervert Ward: S\u0026amp;M Clinic\u003c\/em\u003e) highlights an intense and dramatic relationship between a husband and his wife, where his extreme need for sadism (and its results) takes center stage. Focusing tightly on these two characters alone makes the excessive need to push boundaries through pain and tolerance all the more unsettling. When a highly unexpected third person enters this claustrophobic space, it only serves to concentrate the effect of Satô's invasive lens, in this psychosexual exercise where bondage is hardly the scariest element at play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003edirected by: Hisayasu Satô\u003cbr\u003estarring: Marino Fujisawa, Yumika Hayashi, Kōichi Imaizumi, Simon Kumai, Kazuhiro Sano, Kiyomi Itō, Yuri Ishihara, Saori Yoshimura\u003cbr\u003e1988 - 1993 \/ 171 min (combined) \/ 1.85:1 \/ Japanese\u003cspan\u003e Mono\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional info:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-disc Region Free Blu-ray Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly scanned \u0026amp; restored in 2K from their original negatives with approval and guidance from director Hisayasu Satô\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary track with Japanese cinema expert Jasper Sharp (\u003cem\u003eBrain Sex\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary track with Japanese cinema expert Jasper Sharp (\u003cem\u003eBirthday\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommentary track with film historian \u0026amp; author Samm Deighan (\u003cem\u003eFuga Music For Alpha and Beta\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Someone's Listening!\" (14 min) - an interview with director Hisayasu Satô (\u003cem\u003eBrain Sex\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Altered Perspective\" (13 min) - an interview with actor Simon Kumai (\u003cem\u003eBrain Sex\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Happy Birthday!\" (16 min) - an interview with director Hisayasu Satô (\u003cem\u003eBirthday\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Organized Chaos\" (25 min) - an interview with assistant directors Shinji Imaoka and Yuki Tajiri (\u003cem\u003eBirthday\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Through the Looking Glass\" (24 min) - an interview with actor Kôichi Imaizumi (\u003cem\u003eBirthday\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"A Mirror Image\" (14 min) - an interview with director Hisayasu Satô (\u003cem\u003eFuga Music For Alpha and Beta\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Four Heavenly Kings\" (21 min) - an interview with assistant director Takahisa Zeze (\u003cem\u003eFuga Music For Alpha and Beta\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Rewind...\" (18 min) - an interview with Satô's former assistant director Takaaki Hashiguchi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Afraid of Water\" (17 min) - an interview with actress Kiyomi Itō\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Walking in Circles: Part 5\" (12 min) - Shinjuku with Hisayasu Satô\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible sleeve artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNewly translated English subtitles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pink Line","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition Slipcase","offer_id":44896615333930,"sku":"PL-005 CASE","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Edition","offer_id":44896615366698,"sku":"PL-005","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/3025\/4180\/files\/Sato_Vol5_P1_PL-005_J94W1.jpg?v=1790611203"},{"product_id":"arcane-sorcerer","title":"Arcane Sorcerer","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2026 Subscribers\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is included in your subscription package.\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis special limited edition 2-disc 4K UHD\/Blu-ray set comes with a spot gloss hard slipcase + slipcover combo (designed by Mark McCoy\u003cspan\u003e), includes a 40-page perfect bound book\u003c\/span\u003e and is limited to \u003cstrong\u003e8,000\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cb\u003eunits\u003c\/b\u003e.

A product of its time, the film underscores a shift from the stark, seemingly sincere ethnographic and political surveys of the first three entries into a more classic exploitation style marked by a wicked, gonzo wink back at the viewer.

Wallace's fame has never wavered in Germany, where a second wave of adaptations of his Kriminalroman (crime novels) became one of the most beloved and successful film trends of the 1960s. These Krimis not only inspired domestic imitators, but also predated and heavily influenced the Italian giallo genre. Despite seeing significant US television play through the 1970s, these films have remained obscure outside of Germany. Vinegar Syndrome Labs is delighted to finally present a selection of early Krimis restored with both their original German and English dub tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA group of dysfunctional family members comes together at Marks Priory in Scotland for the reading of Lord Lebanon's will, all with hopes of inheritance, but soon a major storm isolates them at the castle.
