About Desire in Cavern
In a 1963 review of this film for the Naigai Times, Minoru Murai coined the term "Pink film" by suggesting a "Pink Ribbon prize" should be awarded to these softcore erotic productions, which were known as "Eroductions" in the 1960s.
Directed by Kōji Seki, Desire in Cavern leans on a strong ensemble — Aki Ema, Shin Nanaoka, Sanpei Nawa — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1963.
