Summary: a tame film with a misleading title.
Review: This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.

The film "The Pornographers" known in Japan as "Jinruigaku Nyumon" literally translates as "Anthropology Introduction"

While the movie is about a group who makes pornographic films, the movie itself is very tame in terms of the explicitness of the conduct portrayed. It would most likely get a PG-13 rating today. However there is a theme of incest which I think should be R-rated material.

The story is about a group of men who make pornographic films for a living and to support his landlady's family. He is also trying to avoid the police and the Yakuza (Japanese mafia.) When he falls in love with his step-daughter things get out of hand.

The DVD only has a theatrical trailer as a special feature which is disappointing as I thing that they could have added information on events surrounding th controversey of this film.
