‘The Naked Director’ is set in 1980s Japan and revolves around Toru Muranishi, who turns every crushing setback into opportunity and revolutionizes the porn industry. The series chronicles his rise to fame, ambitions, and awkward setbacks. All the while, Muranishi’s story plays out against the excess that existed during Japan’s “bubble” era, which was a time for unprecedented splendor and access. ~~ Adapted from the non-fiction novel "Zenra Kantoku Muranishi Toru Den" (全裸監督 村西とおる伝) by Motohashi Nobuhiro (本橋信宏).
