Synopsis:
An artist's model, Aki (Mako Midori), is abducted, and awakens in a dark warehouse studio whose walls are decorated with outsized women's body parts - eyes, lips, legs, and breasts - and dominated by two recumbent giant statues of male and female nudes. Her kidnapper introduces himself as Michio (Eiji Funakoshi), a blind sculptor whom she had witnessed intently caressing a statue of her naked torso previously at an exhibition in which she featured. Michio announces his intention of using her to sculpt the perfectfemale form. Atfirst defiant, she eventually succumbs to his intense fixation on her body and finds herself drawn into his sightless world, in which touch is everything.

A Haunting Surrealist Gem... - Blind Beast review by sw

Spoiler Alert
06/06/2023

If you love Japanese cinema, as I do, then I highly recommend you rent 'Blind Beast'.

The subject matter makes this a challenging watch but the pure style, elan and visual surrealism on display here is just off the scale.

'Blind Beast' is a fine and original example of everything I love about movies and cinema... A haunting surrealist gem. 9/10
