The pink-on-blue tagline at top reads: 「私は愛の奴隷… 私は男の歓び… 私は与える…」 — “I am a slave to love… I am a man’s pleasure… I give…” Beneath it, the copy boasts: 「『初恋・地獄篇』を凌いで性の極致を衝く」 — “Surpassing Nanami: The Inferno of First Love, it strikes at the extreme limits of sexuality.” Hani, a leading figure of the Japanese New Wave, followed his breakthrough Nanami (1968) with this daring portrait of desire; Aido was entered into the 19th Berlin International Film Festival. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey credits and notes:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Director: Susumu Hani (羽仁進) — celebrated New Wave icon whose earlier Nanami: The Inferno of First Love (1968) gained international attention. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Story by Isamu Kurita (栗田勇); screenplay by Kurita and Hani. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Starring Yuri Suemasa (末政百合) with Kenzō Kawarazaki, Rumiko Tanuma, Kenzaburō Shirai, Jusaburō Tsujimura, and others. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Cinematography: Yūji Okumura (奥村祐治). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Produced by Hani Productions; distributed by Shochiku (noted at foot of the poster).
