BLIND BEAST is a grotesque portrait of the bizarre relationship between a blind sculptor and his captive muse, adapted from a short story by Edogawa Rampo (Horrors of Malformed Men, The Black Lizard)—Japan’s foremost master of the macabre. This masterpiece of erotic horror explores the all-encompassing and overwhelming relationship between the artist and his art, and the obsessive closed world that the artist inhabits. Maestro director Yasuzo Masumura (GIANTS AND TOYS) conjures up a hallucinogenic dreamworld in which sensual and creative urges combine with a feverish intensity.
