The only comment
I want to add to the below description besides "gorgeous photography!"
is "foot fetish." :-)
From the back of
the video box (copyright © 1989 Heron Communications, Inc.):
Wealthy Mr.
H seems to have lost everything: his health, his youth, his wife and
even control over his own fortune. But he has kept something far more
important: his desire for women. And that life-affirming passion,
fueled by the tempting nearness of his sultry daughter-in-law, let's
him escape from his sickbed into the rich world of fantasy and remembrance.
Look inside
the Diary
of a Mad Old Man
and you'll find humor and tradgedy, wisdom and sensuality. Based on
Junichiro Tanizaki's acclaimed novel, it is a film for everyone who's
ever harbored a secret sexual wish.
