action

In Sendai , the plump housewife Sadako Takahashi, who has a boring marriage with her husband Koichi, is raped by the burglar Hiraoka. After that, Sadako initially wants to commit suicide, but deviates from her plan. She prefers to eat first. When the rapist visits the house again, a relationship develops between the two. Sadako becomes pregnant and Hiraoka suggests that she go to Tokyo with him and start a new life.

criticism

“The melodramatically accentuated film is one of the classics of the new wave of Japanese cinema of the 1960s and, in its radicalism, a harrowing reflection on the limits of devotion, sexuality and death. In the drastically shortened German distribution version, only a confused torso is left that speculates with the sex scenes that have been torn out of their context. "
