He explores feminine psychology with unusual objectivity, creating authentic characters and tense situations reminiscent in tone and treatment of the best film noir. The ethical issue of self-sacrifice versus self-preservation, clearly spelled out in the film, remains a problem of the wife's role in Japan. Ayako is modern in making public her instinctive grab for her own happiness, traditional in her self-destruction when she fails to attain it. Well-received in Japan and credited with launching Wakao as a star for her excellent performance, and with delving into women's feelings about sex. Good supporting performance by Kawaguchi." 506 PFA 3500-01-3798.
