is a 2003 Japanese pink film directed by Hideo Jōjō. It won the Bronze Prize at the 2003 Pink Grand Prix ceremony.
The film is in a surreal style. The story involves a young high school teacher who has retired for marriage and seduces one of her former students. She prolongs the relationship by seeing the student whenever her husband leaves for work. Eventually she hides the student in a bedroom closet for more convenient access.[3]
Married Women Who Want a Taste was Hideo Jōjō's directorial debut, and he was given the Best New Director award at the Pink Grand Prix for his work.[4] Lead actress Kaori had studied classical ballet in Paris. After returning to Japan she modeled and appeared in short films. Married Women Who Want a Taste was her debut role for Xces.[5]
Jasper Sharp calls Married Women Who Want a Taste an exceptional release from Xces, one of the critically lesser-regarded pink film studios. He writes that the chemistry between the two leads helps the film, which, he writes, is "an almost perfect pink film."[3] The Japanese Pink film community also showed their approval of the film by awarding it the Bronze Prize and Best New Director at the Pink Grand Prix. Katsumasa Shirato was also awarded the Best Actor, 2nd place award for his performance.[4]
