From the director of The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On, Kazuo Hara’s intensely personal film is a radical and challenging examination of the interplay between the film’s subject and the director. In order to maintain contact with his former partner, Miyuki, Hara shot this raw, intimate film as a way to remain connected with her and to make sense of their complex relationship.

Voyeuristic and uncompromising, Extreme Private Eros explodes the boundaries of documentary filmmaking. It creates a shockingly candid portrait of an independent woman living on her own terms, and Hara’s personal struggle to accept her rejection of him.

Extreme Private Eros: Love Song 1974 is presented from a new HD transfer, approved by director Kazuo Hara. This edition also includes a rare masterclass/interview with Hara, a new filmed appreciation by author and film critic Chris Fujiwara, and a booklet with new writing by author and critic Tony Rayns, and an essay by film writer Ela Bittencourt.
