Controversial Japanese director Nagisa Ôshima's follow up to his "In the Realm of the Senses," is more tame but deals again with the dangers of passion. A young man falls in love with a married woman which leads to her social and psychological downfall after he decides to murder her husband. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of sexual obsession that can only lead to tragedy. Ôshima basically sets "The Postman Always Rings Twice" in 1900 century Japan with mixed results. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
