Notes
  • English title: The blind beast.
  • Audie Bock commemts that "Masumura's 42nd film explores the extremes of eroticism in an isolated situation, much as Ōshima would later do in the 1976 In the Realm of the Senses (Ai no korda). The three-member cast expertly realizes the perversion mistaken for love, and the presence of the mother offers the opportunity to comment on the Japanese male's mother complex in a grotesquely humorous fashion. The surrealistic sets enhance the quality of parable."
