Skinless Night

Skinless Night follows Kayama Mutsuro, a 33-year-old man who supports his family and employees by making porn videos. The film delves into the complexities of the porn industry, including low profit margins and creative challenges, while also portraying Kayama's mid-life crisis. As he reflects on his unfinished student film, he confronts his dissatisfaction with life and work, complicating his relationships with friends and family.

The film features a cast that includes Hitoshi Ishikawa, Yasuko Yagami, and Aya Katsuragi, among others. Mochizuki's debut feature serves as a quasi-autobiographical commentary on the porn sub-culture and the personal struggles faced by its protagonist. Skinless Night provides a unique perspective on the intersection of personal and professional dilemmas in an often-overlooked industry.
