About
Noboru Tanaka’s The Oldest Profession screens in a 4K restoration as part of “Nikkatsu’s Golden Age of Eros,” commemorating 55 years of the Roman Porno. The screening was moved from Saturday, November 21 to Sunday, November 22. Tanaka shot nearly all of the film on location in Osaka’s Kamagasaki and surrounding areas; its black-and-white cinematography uses intimate handheld images, often filmed surreptitiously on the streets. Alexander Fee wrote the essay “Osaka Eros” for Film Movement’s Blu-ray release.
