Dawn of the Felines

Synopsis

Three women drift through the night streets of Ikebukuro, Tokyo. They sleep with the men who call them, and then dawn breaks again. A story about women who feel lonely in the city but live life to the fullest, and the men who surround them. In celebration of the 45th anniversary of Nikkatsu’s roman porno — the more highbrow pinku eiga movement that saved the studio from bankruptcy in the early 1970s — the venerable producer enlisted five of Japan’s most prominent indie filmmakers to re-envision the sub-genre. This is Kazuya Shiraishi's entry in Nikkatsu's Roman Porno ("Romantic Porno") reboot project.
