A blind sculptor kidnaps an artist's model and imprisons her in his warehouse studio - a shadowland of perverse monuments to the female form. Here a deranged passion play of sensual and sexual obsession is acted out in a world where sight is replaced by touch... An intense exploration of perversion, art and sado-masochism this incredible visually inventive tale of sex and madness power to a climax prefiguring Oshima's In The Realm Of The Sense (also known by its Japanese title Ai No Corrida), while recalling the works of Cocteau and Franju's Eyes Without A Face. Japanese New Wave master Yasuzo Masumura's beautiful and terrifying tale, a controversially notorious masterpiece, is available for the first time in the UK in all its uncut glory!
