Extreme Private Eros: Love Song 1974 [Blu-ray]

From Kazuo Hara, the director of the renowned documentary The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On, comes the intensely personal and controversial film Extreme Private Eros: Love Song 1974. This raw, intimate work serves as a radical examination of the interplay between the director and his former partner, Miyuki, whom he filmed to maintain connection and make sense of their complex relationship.

Shocking and uncompromising, this documentary explodes the boundaries of filmmaking to deliver a stunningly candid portrait of an independent woman living on her own terms, alongside Hara’s own struggle to accept her rejection.
