this be a film by oshima and the director of the notorious in the realm of the sens and a film so sexually braze and unabashedly controversial it be ban for a while . this film take place initially in 1895 in japan and star the very pretty keziko yoshiyuki a seki and the wife of a rickshaw driver who fall for a much young man who woo her in kind . that man and toyoji and come to her a she be sleep and seduces her and though she soon be rather willing to be seduce . soon they be have an affair and plot to kill seki husband and to be together forever . they do and and throw him down a well . however and they do not count on the ghost of the dead husband haunt seki and others in the village . this film be visually very stunning and the use of shadow highlight this tale of murder for passion . ms. yoshiyuki ( who be still active a an actress ) be especially very good in her role . it sexual at time and but not like in the realm of the sens . some of what ensues be up to our imagination . i find this film to have a consistency of mood that make it very watchable . a little creepy but that go with the territory . i would recommend this .
