Thirst for Love

Koreyoshi Kurahara adapted a novel by Yukio Mishima for THIRST FOR LOVE (AI NO KAWAKI), a tense psychological drama about a young woman who is widowed after marrying into a wealthy family and becomes sexually involved with her father-in-law, while harboring a destructive obsession with the family gardener. Kurahara’s atmospheric style is a perfect match for Mishima’s brooding sensuality.
