Aka Ana Soundtrack (2008)
Synopsis
Aka Ana, is a haunting visual essay on prostitution in Tokyo that should not be experienced by anyone easily offended by sexual imagery. Aka Ana is told through the eyes of six distinct voices, each a prostitute opening their souls to the viewer, as D'Agata juxtaposes visually disturbing images of these sex workers in their natural habitat, serving clients and shooting each other with heroin, whatever. thing to escape the world they inhabit. Each woman brings a unique dynamic to Aka Ana. One woman feels empowered by sex and sees it as a way to seize the power of the male ego, while another woman towards the woman's end is emotionally torn apart, probably a body without soul drenched in misery. Aka Ana doesn't have an agenda beyond showing prostitution for what it is, being a very crude description surely explains its lack of distribution.
