"Blind Beast"
1969
Directed by Yasuzo Masumura
It is certainly a
lack of availability (on video), not lack of impact, that has led so many to
overlook the films of iconoclastic director Yasuzo Masumura. In this, one of
his most sensational and provocative productions, a blind sculptor kidnaps a
model and keeps her prisoner in a shadowland of monuments to the female
form. "...makes David Lynch look like Pat Boone... a wildly fetishistic,
claustrophobic Japanese production...you've never seen anything like it"
(Adam Groves, The Cutting Edge). Japanese with English subtitles.
86 minutes. |
