Hokusai manga (Edo Porn) (1981) - Kaneto Shindô

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202908/

This is a biographical film which follows the struggles of Edo-era artist Hokusai from his poorest beginnings to his famed accomplishments, including his notorious libidinous drawings. Though risque in much of what is depicts, this comes across as a straight-forward jidai-geki (historical piece) exploring a well-known historical figure's life and obsessions...

Despite the intriguing English title given this film, Edo Porn is in fact a historical biography of Edo-era artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). Hokusai is one of the most well-known Ukiyo-e artists, whose works combine woodblock printing, colored inks, and a very stylized depiction of landscapes and characters. The Japanese title of this film is Hokusai Manga, which is the name of the 13 volume sketchbook he published around 1814. This work, and his very well-received collection of woodblock prints entitled Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku Sanjuurokkei) gained him widespread fame while he was alive and even greater renown by subsequent generations.
A subset of the drawings contained in the Hokusai Manga were shunga depicting the extremely amorous exploits between lovers in various revealing poses. Thus shunga were in essence the pornography of the Edo-era, an artistic tradition Hokusai thoroughly immersed himself in. One particularly infamous/notorious theme pursued by Hokusai was of an orgasmic woman being erotically overcome by a large tentacled octopus. It probably would not take much effort to suggest that Hokusai is here the grand-daddy of all contemporary tentacle hentai, but that particular discussion would lead us far far down an entirely different path.

Review:
The film covers the career of Hokusai, starting with his very poor and drunken beginnings through his key successes, eventual fame and last years of life. It covers his creative struggles with his major accomplishments, including the Manga, his time spent drawing Mount Fuji, and of course the Amorous Octopus. But the narrative also goes well beyond these obvious biographical elements and includes many other artistic accomplishments and personal relationships.
Human relationships covered herein include that between Hokusai and his daughter who stood beside him throughout the entirety of his life. The troublesome dynamic between he and his father is also depicted, including his father's suicide. And Hokusai's fascination and obsession with the strikingly beautiful model Onae also adds plenty of intrique and inner turmoil to the plot.
But clearly the most profound and important relation explored is that between Hokusai and Kyokutei Bakin [1767–1848] a personal friend of Hokutai's who would go on to become Japan's first professional writer. Kyokutai is the author of the epic 106 volume Nanso Satomi Hakkenden or "Legend of the Eight Dog Samurais". This amazing contiguous tale follows the brave and honorable exploits of eight brothers of samurai rank as they roam throughout the country encountering various challenges. The tale has been readapted many times for contemporary audiences including the 1990 and 1993 anime series The Hakkenden and Kinji Fukasaku's 1983 film Legend of the Eight Samurai.
The Japanese public and history in general remember Hokusai in a highly favorable light, and here, despite his hedonistic fixations (which dominate this film's storyline) he emerges as a very noble and disciplined individual exemplifying the highly preferred qualities of tenacity and utter dedication to one's work...

Shokaran (Hemlock) (2000) - Behruz Afkhami

Plot: In the Spring of 1995, troubled factory owner Mahmoud worries about the financial state of his business. Then his partner Khakpour is seriously injured in a mysterious accident. Visiting Khakpour in the hospital, Mahmoud meets attractive Sima. Even though he is happily married, Mahmoud is drawn to Sima and visits her daily. But Islamic society forbids their affair unless they arrange for a temporary marriage. Mahmoud decides to temporarily marry Sima. After some time, Mahmoud tries to break their affair off, but Sima refuses to let him go.

Review: This drama from Iran offers a glimpse into an aspect of Middle Eastern culture and society that is little known (or understood) by most Americans. Mahmoud (Fariborz Arab-Nia) lives in a small town in Iran, where he's happily married to Taraneh (Rozita Gharfari), a dutiful wife who looks after his needs and comforts. However, Taraneh is about the only thing that's going right in Mahmoud's life lately; the factory he owns is in severe financial straits, and his business partner Khakpour (Hamid Reza Afshar) has been seriously injured in an auto accident in Tehran, several hours away from their hometown. Mahmoud is visiting Khakpour in the hospital when he meets a beautiful woman named Sima (Hedieh Tehrani); while Mahmoud makes it clear to her that he's a happily married man, Sima makes no secret of her interest in him, and as he spends more and more time looking after Khakpour, he finds himself frequently crossing Sima's path. Unable to ward off temptation any longer, Mahmoud agrees to a "temporary marriage" with Sima, an Iranian formality that allows men to sleep with other women without violating the culture's strict taboos against extramarital affairs. While Mahmoud tries to make clear that their relationship is indeed temporary, with a clearly delineated expiration date, Sima is not so willing to give him up, and her obsession with Mahmoud soon has unfortunate consequences. Shokaran was a major box-office success in Iran, and is one of the few adult-themed melodramas from Iran to find its way to American screens. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
