About this event

Part whip-smart hangout comedy, part pink film erotica. A New Love in Tokyo follows Rei, an aspiring actor and professional dominatrix, as she splits her time between rehearsing experimental theatre, hanging out with her friend Ayumi - a call girl, and gleefully dominating her clients in the dungeon. Marketed in some territories (and still occasionally referred to) as ‘Tokyo Decadence 2’, A New Love in Tokyo stands distinct as an unashamedly joyous, charming, and sexually-charged work. Directed by pinku/V-cinema legend Banmei Takahashi (Door, Door II), and shot with an energetic, moody atmosphere. Don’t miss the rare chance to catch this newly restored pink cinema classic on the big screen. Programmed and introduced by film critic Alexander Sternberg
