Not Ichikawa’s best
I’ve admired other Ichikawa films, particularly “Alone on the Pacific” and “Fires on the Plains.” With the possible exception of Klimov’s “Come and See” the latter is the most harrowing war film I’ve ever seen. However, I couldn’t get on with “Odd Obsession,”and can’t understand why it won awards. I saw it many years ago, and foolishly tried it again last night. I kept falling asleep: it’s a legitimate form of criticism and no, I hadn’t been drinking. The film starts with Tatsuya Nakadai (star of many Japanese classics), as Dr. Kimura, detailing how humans decline over the years. He points straight at the camera and says this decrepitude will come to us all, so you know this film is going to be different. The doctor is giving an old man injections to treat his impotence (no Viagra in those days), and the old boy invites him to his home, hoping that the doctor, who’s already involved with his daughter, will dally with his young wife. The idea is that jealousy will revive his flagging libido. One problem is that while the male actors are interesting, the women are not. I don’t know why, from a land with so many exquisite and enchanting actresses, Ichikawa chose two puddings, with particularly unfortunate eyebrows. I don’t know the younger one, but Machiko Kyo (from “Rashomon” and “Teahouse of the August Moon”) was normally attractive. The old man has high blood pressure, and the wife seems intent on finishing him off by over-exciting him, so maybe Ichikawa made her look ugly to mirror the ugliness inside the character. Another problem was Japanese inscrutability. Nobody seemed passionate about, or even very interested in, anyone else. It was hard to see why the doctor went along with their games. The son of a fisherman, he was young, handsome and ambitious, so why did he bother with two women with neither beauty or money? (the old man had reputation but no means.)

A real oddity
Ganjirô Nakamura is getting older and feels his sexual potency slipping away. He seeks the advice of doctor Tatsuya Nakadai, his daughter’s boy friend. Rather than follow his medical advice, he pushes Nakadai towards his own wife since the jealousy makes him feel young and potent. This really odd little film sets up a love quadrangle and ends tragically, as expected, but with none of the consequences being quite what you’d expect. Not among Kon Ichikawa’s best, but a real perverse oddity in his catalog.
