The Naked Director (2019)
This drama follows the story of ground-breaking porn Director Toru Muranishi. From his unlikely start as an English encyclopedia salesman, he casts a charismatic vision that leads Japanese pornography from idealized, substanceless skin flicks to more realistic and story-based encounters. Along the way he inspires many around him as they navigate a female sexual revolution, monopolized distribution channels, censorship, international laws and the yakuza.
~~ Adapted from the non-fiction novel by Motohashi Nobuhiro.
