I don't think I've ever seen a bleaker depiction of society in a Japanese movie, even counting things such as The Human Condition. With cruelty standing in for compassion for every character at every turn, Seisaku's Wife is like a Greek tragedy on downers. Scarily enough, there are certainly reliable observations underneath the grotesque hyperbole of a plot, rendering the film quite fascinating and somewhat harrowing.

Good concept brought down by somewhat ineffective execution. The overbearing use of musical cues and characters who are mostly empty vessels undermines the sharp insights into social interdependency and frustrated romance.
