Gushing Prayer: A 15-Year-Old Prostitute

Funshutsu kigan - 15-sai no baishunfu
Dir. Adachi Masao
Japan 1971, 72’
Subtitles: Polish & English 

Desensitized and dissatisfied, a young yet jaded sexual veteran sets out on a journey of self-discovery while teetering on the threshold of womanhood. Yasuko is taking part in an orgy when she realizes that she has lost all feeling - not just physically, but emotionally as well. Now, with the weight of responsibility and adult expectation weighing down on her shoulders, Yasuko attempts to better understand how she could be so empty at such a tender age.


Adachi Masao

Born in 1939 Adachi Masao emerged from Tokyo’s Nihon University Film Study Club, alongside the experimental filmmakers Jônouchi Motoharu and Okishima Isao, to become one of the leading figures in the underground avant-garde scene of the 1960s with films such as Rice Bowl (Wan, 1961), Sealed Vagina (Sain, 1963) and Galaxy (Gingakei, 1967). Adachi directed some of pinku eiga’s most energetic and politically radical works before withdrawing from filmmaking in 1974 to move to Lebanon, where he joined the Japanese Red Army (JRA). Arrested in 1997 for a passport violation, he was extradited to Japan in 2000, where he made his return to directing with Prisoner / Terrorist (Yūheisha / Terorisuto, 2007).
