All Mixed Up (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 Tanizaki Junichiro's 1930s novel, Masumuro's 1964 film All Mixed Up, a.k.a. Manji, is considered Japan's first explicitly queer-themed film, detailing the obsessive relationship between a husband and wife and a young femme fatale. Told through flashback, the film reveals piece by piece the cycle of passion and deception, violence and lust, that drives the provocative story to its emotional apex.

Unhappy with her routine marriage, housewife Sonoko (Kishida Kyoko) develops feelings for her sultry art school classmate Mitsuko (Wakao Ayako). The two fall into an illicit affair, with Sonoko's attraction for Mitsuko bordering on obsession. Sonoko is at a lost, however, when she finds out that her newfound lover has a boyfriend (Kawazu Yusuke). The relationship becomes even more tangled when Sonoko's husband Kotaro (Funakoshi Eiji, Blind Beast) discovers his wife's affair, but ends up also falling for the beautiful Mitsuko.
