Libido

Directed by Kaneto Shindō

With Nobuko Otowa, Taiji Tonoyama, Kayo Matsuo, Hideki Hayashi and Miyoko Akaza

After an elderly man is discharged from a hospital following a misunderstood, life-affirming impulse toward a fellow patient, he finds himself caught between his wife’s empathy and his children’s judgmental scorn. As his health wavers, he and his wife attempt to reclaim their intimacy and vitality during a seaside getaway, even as their son becomes entangled with the same young woman from the clinic.
