Stolen Desire

In this rambunctious and ribald tale of a troupe of travelling actors, traditional kabuki theatre is intertwined with risqué strip shows, showcasing the seedy underbelly of Japan's entertainment industry. Directed by Shōhei Imamura in his debut capacity as a director, "Stolen Desire" weaves together themes of love and excess, capturing the essence of a bygone era of Japanese cinema.
