a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I thought that Blind Beast which was directed by Yazuzo Masumara. was a very weird sort of film. A blind sculptor kidnaps a young model and takes her back to his home. He and his mother live in a warehouse that he has turned into a tribute to the senses. It is filled with huge sculptures of body parts He is obsessed with exploring the senses to the fullest. At first, the model only wants to escape from this bizarre place, but eventually she succumbs to his strange vision and even surpasses his obsession. This was a very disturbing sort of film a that contains some weird seanses. But i found it to be quite an interesting film in the end.

A tortured blind sculptor kidnaps a beautiful female model and forces her to pose for the perfect sculpture. Even though this film only has a few characters in a couple settings, it has some very fascinating and unsettling set designs. The room where the sculptor works on his art is impressive, to say the least. As for the subject matter, I was surprised at how much ahead of its time it was. My only problem with the film is that the few characters in it aren't fleshed out enough. This makes some of the character transitions seem unbelievable or even goofy at times. So perhaps it could have been a bit longer with better characterization. Otherwise, this is a good, original, and shocking dramatic horror.

The first time I watched this movie, I found it by accident on one of the premium channels, SHOtime or something, and caught it about 20 minutes in. I thought it was going to be interesting, but I didn't know that this would turn out to be one of the greatest movies I've ever seen.The film is quite disturbing, and it is amazing that they were able to capture the horror with minimal amounts of blood. The sick love story that is drawn out over the course of the picture is portrayed excellently, mainly due to the fact that the actors are some of the best. The movie is basically a sort of cinematic "foreplay" for the most part, and during the last 30 minutes, the bizarre S&M sex scene begins.Not much is shown as far as the nudity and sex is concerned, but the bizarre activities they partake in are stimulating enough. If you find yourself aroused by this film, don't feel like you're a bad person.The last scene of the film is when Miachi uses a knife and hammer to cut Aki's arms and legs off, all at her request. He then slides onto the knife himself, ending his life as well. Aki then ends the movie by postmortem-ly saying something about those who dine on the feast that she and Miachi had were doomed to die a dark, dank death.For anyone who wants to watch a truly captivating horror film (I know, that sounds impossible), then I recommend Mojuu-Blind Beast.

The only 'pinku' film I'd seen before this one was Masaru Konuma's Wife to be Sacrificed, but that didn't prepare me for the oddity of this Japanese 'classic'! Quite what the writers and directors were on is anyone's guess, but whatever it was; it lead to them creating an interesting and unique film that is memorable thanks to it's strange storyline and the way that the ideas are presented without a lot of fuss, which only increases the potency of what the film has to say. The basis of the story is sadomasochism, but director Yasuzo Masumura seems to want to go further as the pleasure-pain idea that S&M is based on is completely overruled by the idea of absolute pleasure through the sense of touch. The film focuses on a blind sculptor who, along with his mother kidnaps a young model after he heard some young kids talking about how exquisite she is. He takes her to his warehouse, which is filled with huge statues and naturally she wants to escape as soon as possible. After a couple of failed attempts, however, she begins to buy into the sculptor's ideas, and soon develops his fixation.This film definitely is shocking, but not because of any large amount of gore or particularly brutal sex scenes. Director Yasuzo Masumura has done an amazing thing in that he's made a film that is shocking thanks to the ideas that it promotes. Naturally, there's a fair amount of nudity; but it's very soft and clearly wasn't what the director valued most when it came to making this film. There is a rather visceral sequence towards the end which is sure to get the audience cringing, but it's not the most shocking thing about the film - which again is amazing since this would have been the standout in most other movies like this. The atmosphere is surreal throughout, and this is good as it allows the director to throw in just about anything and it comes off as being believable in spite of the fact that a lot of the ideas in the film are really quite ridiculous. I always find it difficult to judge things like acting when a film is subtitled; but the lead duo are at least believable, while Yasuzo Masumura's cinematography and attention to detail is the finishing touch that makes the film what it is. Overall, Blind Beast is a bizarre oddity that verges on brilliance. Well worth seeing!
