Gate of Flesh
Gate of Flesh , Nikutai no mon? is a 1964 Japanese film based on a novel by Taijiro Tamura and directed by Seijun Suzuki.
Planned as an adult release Japanese films were classified by the countrys film board as general release or adult, the usual pace of production at Nikkatsudays preproduction,days shooting, three days postproduction allowed Suzuki and his innovative production designer Takeo Kimura precious little time to construct sets to recreate postwar firebombed Tokyo. Sets were slapped together on the backlot using materials purloined from studio warehouses, and theatrical set design techniques which could compromise the films realism. The resulting production has been lauded for its resulting visual flair.Most female actresses at Nikkatsu refused to work in the film due to the nudity and subject matter, so the casts female roles were filled by actresses from outside the studio. ........
