Blind Beast
Directed by Yasuzō Masumura
Produced by Daiei Film
A deeply unsettling psychological thriller that uses sensory deprivation and captivity to explore obsession, desire, and the violation of bodily autonomy.
A blind sculptor kidnaps an artists' 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 world where sight is replaced by touch.
