Save the Last Dance for Me

1986, dir. Hisayasu Satô

JapanJapanese60m1.85:135mm

A pair of former film students attempt to face the world—and their own troubled relationship—through video voyeurism and sex work. As violence begins to manifest within their sexual situations, a sense of fatalism threatens to take the lovers to darker places.

One of legendary pink filmmaker Hisayasu Satô's earliest films, Save the Last Dance for Me is a profound meditation on loneliness and distance—both physical and perceived.
