Blind Beast (Japan, 1969)

A blind sculpter kidnaps a beautiful young model and takes her back to his home. He and his mother live in a warehouse that he has turned into a surreal tribute to the senses. It is filled with huge sculptures of body parts and the female form. He is obsessed with exploring the senses to the fullest. At first, the model only wants to escape from this bizarre scene, but eventually she succumbs to his strange vision and even surpasses his obsession.

Wow, Blind Beast. What a cool 60's, kinky and great film. The plot is so deliciously perverse and the sets are like the landscapes of a deranged and lonely mind. The script is nothing short of amazing, with lines like "People pity the blind, what a big mistake. I pity those who have sight. They can never know the tactile ecstasy of our caresses", or "The world of touch. The world of insects. The lower orders such as the jellyfish. Those who venture to the edge of such worlds, can expect only a dark, dank death to envelop them".  

Genre: Drama/Horror
