Extreme Private Eros:
Love Song 1974

(Gokushiteki Erosu: Renka 1974)
A film by Kazuo Hara

Japan, 1974

From Kazuo Hara, director of The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On, this intensely personal film is a radical and challenging examination of the interplay between the film’s subject and the director. In order to maintain contact with his former partner, Miyuki, Hara shot this raw, intimate film as a way to remain connected with her and to make sense of their complex relationship.

Voyeuristic and uncompromising, Extreme Private Eros explodes the boundaries of documentary filmmaking. It creates a shockingly candid portrait of an independent woman living on her own terms, and Hara’s personal struggle to accept her rejection of him.

“This insanely intimate document never flinches... an emotionally scalding yet absorbing cinematic open wound”
