If you loved University of Laughs, try The Pornographers

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to University of Laughs, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Pornographers is

Subu churns out softcore for a socially repressed Japan, funding Haru’s household with the takings while she winks at her carp-husband’s imaginary veto. Haru shares her bed with Subu, her son moons over her daughter, and the director watches with amused detachment. What began as a scandalous romp now feels like sympathetic anthropology on fast-forward.
