《悪徳の栄え》(The Decadence of Vice) is a mesmerizing film that delves into the world of a group of wealthy individuals who become gradually consumed by their obsession with Marquis de Sade's infamous novel.
Director Akio Jissoji, known for his distinctive storytelling style, paints a vivid picture of the decadent aristocracy in 1930s Tokyo, just before the infamous 226 Incident. With a keen eye for detail, Jissoji masterfully captures the perverse desires, twisted passions, and profound sense of isolation that shrouds the characters in their pursuit of pleasure.
At the heart of the film lies the theatrical adaptation of de Sade's work, in which the Duke (played brilliantly by Koji Shimizu) orchestrates a performance involving his wife (Xinglan Li) and a cast of criminals. As the boundaries between reality and fiction blur, the film plunges deeper into the darkness, exploring the depths of human depravity and the consequences of unchecked desire.
The film's stylish visuals and evocative cinematography create a captivating atmosphere, drawing the audience into a world of elegance and madness. Jissoji's previous work, "Story of the Capital," serves as a counterpart to this film, as both explore the underbelly of early Showa-era Tokyo, showcasing the director's signature blend of sophistication and insanity.
