Mesmerising Japanese study of voyeurism and eroticism. Shot in black and white but colourfully performed by Asuka Kurosawa as a repressed wife who’s blackmailed by a stranger into?wait for it?masturbating in public places. In lesser hands it’d be tat, but there’s a Cronenberg-like claustrophobia to the seediness. Porn, then, but arty porn.
