Interesting facts

Love Hotel aka Jitsuwa Repōto: Avec Ryojō (実話レポート アベック旅情) and A Rendezvous Hotel is a 1968 Japanese pink film directed by Shin'ya Yamamoto.

Production

Director Shin'ya Yamamoto is known as one of the "Founding Fathers" of the pink film. In his Behind the Pink Curtain: The Complete History of Japanese Sex Cinema, Jasper Sharp credits Yamamoto with almost single-handedly injecting the element of light-hearted fun into pink cinema. His earliest films were in the serious and often misogynistic tone of many pink films of the era.

Yamamoto filmed Love Hotel for Tōkyō Kōei and it was released theatrically in Japan by Shintōhō Eiga in September 1968. With this film, Yamamoto found the style which would make him one of the most popular pink film directors for the next decade.
