Edo Porn - 1981 - 6/10
AKA - Hokusai Manga // 北斎漫画
Stylized history of woodblock artist Hokusai will interest some, bore more.
He is a failure and wannabe Utamaro copyist until he discovers his muse in a young prostitute.
Even then, he cannot render her and he departs to walk the countryside.
This results in his masterpiece series, 36 views of Mount Fuji.
For hentai enthusiasts, Hokusai’s lascivious shunga of the congress of
human female and octopus is shown in a highly suggestive drawing session.
Despite that, the movie overall is ponderously slow, the final section numbingly so.
