Seisaku no tsuma (1965)

Tragic amour fou story and sometimes almost delirious, "Seisaku's Wife" is a perfect example of the Japanese melodrama even in its excesses. Luckily, Masumura knows temper the dramatic tension, always preventing or tear melodramatic tone that lends the film since its inception. This, even in its resolution that prevented even mortal, it isn't less tragic.

If leftover or missing arguably not a plane, it can not be said of the soundtrack by Tadashi Yamauchi, Masumura occasional collaborator. His crushing melody-just be glimpsed melodramatic sequence hits insistence and, in my point of view, inappropriately.

In conclusion, "Seisaku no tsuma" is an excellent example and provides a brilliant exposition of how easy it is to feel the loneliness and contempt of others in human environments.
