Odd Obsession

Lorna Singh

Made in 1959,this was daring even without nudity.I have not read the book but suspect the characters there had more depth. A strange ending.

Howard Fritzson

3.5 stars. The cast seems to be under some kind of spell right from the start with the young doctor's monologue setting the slightly sinister tone. That takes getting used to. I read the book before seeing the film so I know that it is faithful to the situation if not in every detail. The silly ending is not in the book. Darkly comic and, depending upon your point of view, a little shocking. Machiko Kyo is wonderful.

IA

One of Ichikawa's most sardonic films, told with an immaculate poker-face, at least until the unsatisfying ending, when Ichikawa washes his hands of the material.
