Pink Film
in its broadest sense includes almost any Japanese theatrical film that includes nudity (hence 'pink') or deals with sexual content.

The Western equivalent of pink films would essentially be erotic thrillers, e.g. ''Fatal Attraction'', ''Fifty Shades of Grey'', ''Basic Instinct'', ''9½ Weeks '', as well as the works of directors Russ Meyer and Andy Sidaris. Some writers use the term 'pink film' for Japanese sex movies produced and distributed by smaller independent studios such as OP Eiga, Shintōhō Eiga, Kokuei and Xces. In this narrower sense, Nikkatsu's ''Roman Porno'' series, Toei Company's ''Pinky Violence'' series and the Tokatsu films distributed by Shochiku would not be included as these studios have much larger distribution networks. Until the early 2000s, they were almost exclusively shot on 35 mm movie film, 35mm film. Recently, filmmakers have increasingly used video (wh ...
