Whirlpool of Flesh
During the war a university professor meets a girl and marries her. Very soon however, it is apparent that their needs are not matched. He would much rather be translating Shakespeare than attending to her, and she has a secret in her past - one that results in her sleeping with a great number of men.
Directed by Kō Nakahira
Written by Masashige Narusawa
