The Pornographers (1966) follows the story of Subu, a filmmaker who specializes in creating adult films. Subu views his work as a means to help a repressed society and uses the earnings to support Haru, his landlady, and her family. Haru occasionally shares her bed with Subu, despite believing her deceased husband, now reincarnated as a carp, disapproves. Director Shohei Imamura, known for his exploration of unconventional characters, delves into the peculiar relationships between Haru, her son, and her daughter, who is the true focus of Subu's affection. The film's humorous and subversive take on themes like voyeurism and incest stirred up controversy upon its release.
