A look at the efforts to restore, reproduce and recreate Shunga erotica which was done in a wood block style
Don't come into SHUNGA thinking you are going to be aroused. This is an informative, literary and a bit dry look at the erotic art form in Japan. It's a beautiful film which is going to tell you everything you ever wanted to know about classic Japanese erotica and then some. It is a really well done film....
...that is much too long for what it is.
Yes it is excellent. Yes it is informative. But it is so low key and detailed that you may nod off. I knew I was going to have a love hate relationship with the film when it showed us what it takes to carve pubic hairs.
It's not bad, but you should be aware of what you are walking into since the film plays at 9PM on a Saturday. Unless you a bringing a scholar you are not getting lucky after this film.
