Overwiew :As a young girl in Japan, Nagiko's father paints characters on her face, and her aunt reads to her from 'The Pillow Book', the diary of a 10th-century lady-in-waiting. Nagiko grows up, obsessed with books, papers, and writing on bodies, and her sexual odyssey (and the creation of her own Pillow Book) is a 'parfait mélange' of classical Japanese, modern Chinese, and Western film images.

  Critic Reviews  Grade
www.paloaltoonline.com - : Greenaway and his brilliant cinematographer Sacha Vierny have such fun exploring different uses of camera and light, that if they have not exhausted the possibilities and various permutations of calligraphy on flesh, it was not for lack of trying.  more...  2/4
www.toxicuniverse.com - : There is much beauty in Pillow Book, beauty of both the delicate and the grotesque, beauty to raise questions, beauty to excite and to horrify. The exotic and the erotic mesh, becoming something more than foreign and more than mere sex. This is all kinky as hell, and it's fascinating, this need to deface what is most loved and desired.  more...  4.5/
www.rochestergoesout.com - : With such films as The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, Prospero's Books and The Baby of Macon, the professorial British director has proven himself the great paradox of international cinema. On one hand, he makes challenging esoteric films of intellectual density. On the other, he produces shocking images of sex, depravity and violence.  more...  8/10
