The Tale of Genji
Murasaki Shikibu's classic novel, written over 1000 years ago, is eroticized in this adaptation. Genji, the emperor's son, is well-known among Kyoto's nobility for his charm and good looks, but he can't stop himself from pursuing the one object of desire he must never have: his father's young and beautiful bride. Genji wanders from one affair to the next, always seeking some sort of closure to his life as a result of the tragic consequences of his obsession.
