108. The blind beast (1969)
Country: Japan
Directed by Yasujo Masumura
Sex ,violence and horror are three elements that always are used from the producers and directors in order to attract viewers and their movies to go well in the box office. Japan has a great tradition in this kind of films but somehow very talented people got involved to the creation of movies either of the pinku genre either of the Yakuza one : 'Blind beast' is one of the best examples when artistic vision is inhaled to rather commercial films that are belong to the cinema of exploitation. Masumura , an underrated director that in reality played a major role to the Japanese new wave movement, give us here a raw, weird and hallucinating film that , as you watch it, slowly brings you back to your basic instincts. As you come closer and closer to the characters the film has a great impact on you that ,you like it or not, you can't deny. Years passed from the time that I watched the film but still I remember how it captured my attention from the beginning to the end
