One of the many film versions based on Chikamatsu Monzaemon (1653-1725), in which Uchida does not shirk from bringing on the legendary writer himself. Young man is filled with passion for a prostitute and tries to buy her freedom with stolen money. Intense and – as usual – filled with the urge to experiment. (MUBI)
