DESCRIPTION:“I’d like to destroy this premise that cinema is fiction.
 ” - Shohei Imamura One of the greatest filmmakers of postwar Japanese (o
 r\, for that matter\, world) cinema\, Shohei Imamura spent more than four 
 decades turning out a steady stream of astoundingly fearless\, inventive\,
  mischievous films\, gleefully breaking taboos of all kinds - political\, 
 social\, sexual\, and aesthetic. His films - including masterpieces like T
 HE INSECT WOMAN\, THE PORNOGRAPHERS\, and VENGEANCE IS MINE - are populate
 d by a constellation of perverts\, serial killers\, madmen\, and eccentric
 s\, adding up to an incisive\, unvarnished\, but vital portrait of Japanes
 e society. Imamura’s disregard for propriety or conventions\, and his un
 ceasing appetite for investigating and depicting Japanese society\, result
 ed in a refusal to limit himself to fiction or documentary filmmaking\, or
  to acknowledge a sharp distinction between the two. Throughout his career
  he moved fluidly from one to the other\, ultimately making numerous docum
 entaries on a host of subjects. And in some of these films\, he happily bl
 urred the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction\, pioneering the hybr
 id form that is very much in vogue today.\nFor more information about film
