Aka Ana

A pornographic diary conceived and photographed by the French provocateur and Magnum photographer Antoine D’Agata. The film is made up of 120 fragments taken by D’Agata himself during his nocturnal wanderings through Tokyo, Osaka and other Japanese cities. The scenes are about women at night, prostitutes, victims of violence, drug addicts, strippers. D’Agata meets them and gives them a chance to frame their story by investing himself in the most total and brutal way possible.

Drugged, deeply drenched in alcohol and on the verge of falling apart, he makes his way into the night to meet the other world—and not least to escape his own fear of sexuality and death.
