Unholy Desire or Intentions of Murder (赤い殺意 Akai satsui?) is a 1964 Japanese film by director Shohei Imamura. This film embodies many of the central interests in Imamura's career including strong, lower-class women who survive in spite of their oppressive surroundings, and an earthy, humorous approach to sex.
[edit] Plot
The film tells the story of a dull, plump housewife living in poverty with a common-law husband, his son by another woman, and his mother. When she is raped by a thief, she escapes for a new life in Tokyo with the thief.
