Odd Obsession (1959)

dir. Kon Ichikawa

Faced with the prospect of his deteriorating health, Kenmochi Kenji, an ageing art historian, becomes desperate to recover his virility. Believing that salvation lies in the stimulating throes of jealousy, he conspires to couple his young wife, Ikuko, with his daughter’s handsome lover, Kimura. His twisted machinations plunge the once-respectable family into an ever-growing web of lies, secrets and illicit affairs.
