Lesbian Harem
Lesbian Harem ? is a 1987 Japanese pink film directed by Tomoaki Hosoyama.
Tomoaki Hosoyama filmed Lesbian Harem for Shinth Eiga and it was released theatrically in Japan by that studio on April 18, 1987. U.S. lowbudget exploitation films had become popular in Japan with the advent of home video. Director Hosoyama made Lesbian Harem on a similarly low budget, and designed the film as a tribute to these films, and particularly as an homage to John Waters Desperate Living 1977.In their Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia The Sex Films, Thomas and Yuko Mihara Weisser give Lesbian Harem three out of four stars. Noting that Lesbian Harem is an important film on its own, they point out that in many ways this early Hosoyama film also anticipates his later hit, Weather Girl 1993. Hosoyamas attitude towards lesbianism, in particular, is shared between these films, and in direct opposition to the way it was depicted in most contemporary pink films dealing with the subject. Rather than showing lesbians as women who are bitter from bad experiences with heterosexual affairs, and who are victims of a disapproving society, Hosoyama shows lesbianism simply as a lifestyle which the storyline accepts without judgment. ........
