かいせつ 旧華族の一人娘の雪は、婿養子の夫の放蕩と横暴に苦しめられ…。戦前から在籍した松竹を離れた溝口が新東宝で撮った官能のメロドラマ。雪夫人を演じた木暮の目も眩む濃密なエロスが、溝口独特の耽美的な世界へと誘い込む。
A commentary: Yuki, the only daughter of an old aristocratic family, is tormented by the debauchery and tyranny of her husband, who married into the family... This sensual melodrama was shot by Mizoguchi at Shin Toho after he left Shochiku, where he had worked since before the war. The dazzling, dense eroticism of Kogure, who plays Lady Yuki, lures the viewer into Mizoguchi's uniquely decadent world.
