[KineJapan] R: Free ebook on pink film!

[Quentin Turnour]

Hi Markus,

Thanks for this - especially for the essay on Suo's Ozu-esque ABNORMAL 
FAMILY. It's already led me to finding an English subbed version on 
YouTube... Ahhh: this is my third great Japanese retrospective film 
discovery joy of 2014, alongside Shimuzu's NAKINURETA HARU NO ONNA YO  and 
Mizoguchi's GUBIJINSO in Alex Jacoby and Johan Nordström's  latest 1930's 
program at Bologna (and thanks again, guys...). 

I believe Suo's film already gets some use in teaching Ozu in undergrad 
cinema studies. If so, it's a fascinating way of introducing pinku eiga 
into the classroom.

A question: is Adachi-san's quote translated from the Japanese, or was it 
written in English? Just curious...

Oggetto: [KineJapan] Free ebook on pink film!

There have already been 1,044 downloads of Kinema Club's The Pink Book in 
the first month of release. That's pretty impressive, but it's actually 
far less than the total subscribers of KineJapan. If you haven't 
downloaded your FREE ebook, turn your browser to: 

http://kinemaclub.org/pink-book-japanese-eroduction-and-its-contexts

And choose either epub or pdf version. Or both! 

Markus

PS: One of the most surreal book blurbs ever written: 

This strange collection of brains has drawn an untouchable picture of the 
Pink Cinema. It is not simply a record of their wanderings around the 
utter darkness of the Japanese soft core sex film world. It is a story—for 
any reader—more pleasurable than a child’s secret treasure box!
—Adachi Masao, director
