Black Rose Mansion (1969)

Obsessed

Obsession is quite literally the theme of this movie but i too am obsessed with this. It is perfectly tailor made for me. I loved all the gothic elements.....Every scene, every frame was out of this world. The music too...its just altogether supreme film making. It is historically and culturally important. Japan should be proud of itself for producing this movie.

I dont wanna give spoilers but this movie potrays very wicked kind of love...something pure and bloody which can turn something inanimate into something beautiful and lively. The men in this movie are genuinely disgusting, entitled and driven by lust except one and thats what this movie about.

From a man's lense the woman drove men insane but from a woman's lense....she was honest and just wanted love. In the end she got what she wanted and when she achieved what she wanted in her life....fate rightfully put her to rest. Its not a tragedy....its a beautiful love story. The director managed to capture the essence of obsessive 'love' completely.
