Some times your wife or your girlfriend finds themselves attracted to women but they just don't know what it's like, seems like a new trend but it's not, for a fictionalized look at this subject Yasuzo Masumura's "Manji" is spot on. It's from the radical 60's Japan, but it the story is as relevant today as it was a thousand years ago.
About the film:
The dutiful, unhappy wife of a lawyer falls in love with a young, mysterious woman she encounters at an art class. Soon their affair involves her husband and the young woman's impotent lover and the four slowly descend into web of desire, deceit, blackmail, blood oaths and suicide pacts. Featuring superb performances and director Yasuzo Masumura's stunning visual precision, this exquisitely wrought tale of erotic obsession is a hothouse of tangled passions and over the top emotion (via Royal-T)
