ΣYNOΨH:

There are three names on the credits of The Fruits of Passion which lift it above being a mere example of bygone erotica. The first is the great Klaus Kinski who at the time was being typically erratic in his acting choices, 1981 also producing performances in Billy Wilder?s final feature Buddy Buddy and the frankly ridiculous horror flick Venom. The second is director Shuji Terayama, something of a renaissance man in both film and theatre, the former career having produced a number of classics including The Boxer and the definitive Japanese counterculture effort, Throw Away Your Books and Go Out Into the Streets. And finally there is French producer extraordinaire Anatole Dauman, a man whose CV encompasses everything from Night and Fog to In the Realm of the Senses.
Of course, the latter work is important here as no doubt The Fruits of Passion, an equally sexually charged French-Japanese co-production, was in part an attempt to capitalise on its success. Indeed, rather than set up the project himself, Terayama was commissioned by Dauman to do the film and only accepting as he was apparently requiring quick finance for a theatrical piece he was mounting. And despite receiving a co-writer credit, it?s abundantly clear that Terayama?s position on The Fruits of Passion was not that of a fully committed director, rather the film plays out as his marginal doodlings.
