Intentions of Murder Synopsis & Summary

Synopsis

This Japanese drama explores the fine psychological line between rape and romance as it chronicles the violation of a bored housewife while her husband is away. The next morning, the woman is unable to tell her husband of the rape. Strangely, she finds herself looking forward to the brute's return. He does and she struggles very little. Soon she finds herself fixated on the rapist and unable to get rid of him. In desperation, she decides to poison him. Fortunately, before she can, he suffers a heart attack and dies. The woman calmly resumes her dull life and the story ends. - Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
