Shohei Imamura perfectly shot this 1966 film about the parallels of cinema and pornography. By shooting about 65% of the film in deep focus shots with a voyeuristic window or frame within a frame in the midground, Imamura creates the idea that the intimacy of human emotions being captured through film is something private that possibly should not be revealed--sounds like porn to me.
