Night of the Felines

Roman Porno maestro Noboru Tanaka (Watcher in the Attic, The Oldest Profession) brings his characteristically poetic approach to this vibrant collage of the lives, loves and dreams of a group of sex workers at a ‘soapland’ bathhouse massage parlour in Tokyo. Masako (Tomoko Katsura), and her out-of-hours relationship to her next-door neighbour Honda (Ken Yoshizawa; Ecstasy of Angels, Guts of a Beauty) is the focus of this love letter to the vibrant Kabukicho entertainment district in its early 1970s heyday, presented for the very first time in the UK by 88 Films.
