The plot is pure soap-opera (a young widow is forced to become the mistress of her late husband's creditor), but this picture is quite haunting thanks to its skillful, artistic handling. The inky chiaroscuro lighting and the impressionistic soundtrack (chamber music and natural sounds) beautifully complement the languid pace. Obviously, its main selling points are the erotic scenes, which are successfully intense not because of any explicitness (the nudity is very tame), but thanks to their focus on the woman's ecstasy (surprising even herself) and the shadowy closeups of merging flesh. An interesting Eastern counterpoint to Joe Sarno's American contributions to the genre of the same era.
