Pigs Pimps and Prostitutes: 3 Films by Shohei Imamura (Criterion Collection)

In the 1960s, Japanese filmmakers responded to a stale studio system by looking for new ways to tell stories; Shohei Imamura was one of the leading figures of this new wave. With the three films in this set-Pigs and Battleships, the Insect Woman, and Intentions of Murder Imamura truly emerged as an auteur, bringing to his national cinema an anthropological eye and a heretofore unseen taste for the irreverent.
