Daisuke Gotō’s debut film as director was with the Nikkatsu Roman Porno film “Bed Partner (1988),” part of the last double-bill in that series. Bed Partner won Gotō the Best New Director award at the Zoom Up Film Festival. After the demise of Nikkatsu, Gotō worked mainly V-cinema, filming straight-to-video sequels to earlier film series. Prominent among his films of this period are “Sasori in the U.S.A.” and “Zero Woman” series, He made his Pink film debut in 2001 with “Mourning Wife.” Highly regarded as a director of Pink films, Gotō is known for his ease at directing in many genres. Jasper Sharp writes that Gotō’s “A Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn” (2003) is the Pink film “at its most inventive, albeit frankly bewildering.”
