Erotic Asian Cinema on Blu-ray & DVD

This collection explores the erotic strand of Asian cult cinema, from the stylish Hong Kong 'Category III' erotic dramas of the 1980s-90s to Japanese Pinku and Roman Porno pictures. Featured directors include Shinya Tsukamoto, Teruo Ishii and Li Han-Hsiang, alongside genre icon Amy Yip.

Many of these titles were once heavily censored or difficult to see outside their home markets, and are now available fully restored with extensive special features from specialist labels including 88 Films and Third Window Films, often in Limited or Deluxe Editions with slipcases and booklets.
