A Lustful Man (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3

A staple of Japanese cinema from the 1950s to 1970s, acclaimed director Masumura Yasuzo was a pioneer of the New Wave, often challenging social taboos with his passionate, visceral, and subversive works. Unflinchingly delving into stories and characters from the fringe, the groundbreaking director delivered fluid social commentary, biting satire, and dark melodrama in a wide range of genres. With films like Blind Beast, A Lustful Man, and All Mixed Up, he gave potent social and artistic kicks to Japanese cinema, paving the way for new forms of narrative in Japanese cinema. Based on a Saikaku Ihara novel, Masumura's 1961 work A Lustful Man lives up to its title by chronicling the womanizing exploits of the lustful protagonist over a 54-year period. One of Japan's earliest sex comedies, the film is unabashedly forward in its content, making for a raucous and entertaining journey.

Fascinated with women from an early age, Yonosuke (Ichikawa Raizo) had his first sexual encounter at the age of seven. From that day on, he recklessly and forwardly pursues women, feeding his fascination and experience. As Yonosuke's salacious behavior brings much cause for shame to the family, his father eventually breaks relations with him. Expelled from the family, 19-year-old Yonosuke embarks on a pilgrimage of lust, traveling far and wide to acquaint himself with women of all walks - from young girls to married women to nuns. He considers making women happy, and vice versa, to be his life's highest calling. After Yonosuke inherits the family fortune, he discovers a new kind of woman, the most famous courtesans of the time.

導演︰增村保造

日本文學巨著改編　媲美中國《金瓶梅》
歷盡無數女色　以令女人快樂為己任

　　井原西鶴的名著＜好色一代男＞媲美中國＜金瓶梅＞。增村保造把它搬上銀幕，成為一齣內容荒誕而有趣的性喜劇。故事講述世之介（市川雷藏　飾）少年時代便開始縱情聲色，生活放蕩，以致在19歲時為父親怒斷父子關係。世之介被逐出家門後，開始在日本各地進行他所謂的「好色修行」，從人妻、少女到尼姑、熟女一應俱全，他認為令女人快樂是最幸福的事。後來世之介繼承了大筆遺產，更開始接觸豔傾國傾城的頂級娼妓……

　　Yonosuke was lived in insatiable pursuit of love affairs with women and men as well, and a celebrated courtesan; the son first made love to a woman at the age of seven. Thereafter, always devoting himself to the affairs, Yonosuke ended up, at 60, sailing to Nyogogashima ("Isle of Women"). This film was adapted for the famous novel, Koshoku ichidai otoko which narrates 54 years of his adventures in affairs of women.
