2022 · Film · ★ 7
Released in 2022, Odoriko is a documentary film directed by Yoichiro Okutani, running about 114 minutes.
What it’s about. Odoriko performances are intense, sometimes acrobatic choreographies, performed in sumptuous costumes—at least, until the costumes come off, because these dancers practice the Japanese form of striptease theater. The art was once popular, but is now seen only in a few clubs in the country. Filming on mini-DV tape, as if he is not actually in the room, director Yoichiro Okutani observes the unusual, traditional profession of the odoriko and the contrast with the modern, everyday questions the women struggle with.
How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, Odoriko has been warmly received by audiences.
