With his devoted mother's assistance, a blind sculptor kidnaps a celebrated model in order to create his masterpiece. Combining a woman-in-peril story with an art/fashion backdrop, like many an Italian giallo before it and after, this weird but not particularly wonderful J...( read more)
Based on a story by Edogawa Rampo, this is certainly a film very ahead of it's time in many aspects. A strange relationship develops between a blind sculptor and a female model. Hardly the type of film that gets made these days.
Can't say I particularly enjoyed watching it, (infact I found the last 20 minutes or so rather difficult to watch), but it is completely unforgettable and way ahead of it's time which is always a good thing.
An achievement of sizzling moments,irrational behavior and savoring...for real the flesh and blood of two human carnivores.The transparent symbolism is obvious.Man will never survive without a guide be it an obnoxious yet incredibly smart art model or the Oedipal complex and the ...( read more)

put three actor in two rooms (almost) one blind sculptor, his mother (if my memory is good) and a scared model..and you ll get this. recommanding all what Edogawa Rampo wrote btw.. a very good weird movie.

If you're a fetishist, this has got it all: kidnapping, bondage, rape, s&m, and '60s decadence in pop art and excess. Simplistic plot and character development it I'd enjoyable.
Some disturbing moments mostly to the end of the movie considering the year of the realese (1969).The search for the ultimate pleasure by a blind artist, a kidnapped model and a third strange character, his mother.
started out like a beast, end liked a bean. some credit for carrying out the relationship to its logical conclusion, too bad it completely amputates the story.

This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Blind Beast (Môjû)" !
