White Lily
Nikkatsu has relaunched the Roman Porno label and resumed production of new works, resurrecting the label's role as a sandbox for playful experimentation with the goal of achieving new forms of cinematic expression. Hideo Nakata began his career at Nikkatsu as an assistant director and has worked on multiple on-location shootings for Roman Porno's soft-core series, but this is Nakata's first Roman Porno title. With his reverence for his mentor, director Masaru Konuma, he fights the lesbian world's takeover of the ancient title spirits. Two women are involved in a relationship: Tokiko, a ceramic artist, and Haruka, her trainee. The duo is not intrinsically lesbian, but they fell in love by accident.
