From the back of the video box
(copyright © 1989 Heron Communications, Inc.):
Wealthy Mr. H seems to have
lost everything: his health, his youth, his wife and
even control over his own fortune. But he has kept
something far more important: his desire for women.
And that life-affirming passion, fueled by the
tempting nearness of his sultry daughter-in-law,
let's him escape from his sickbed into the rich world
of fantasy and remembrance.
Look inside the Diary of a Mad
Old Man and you'll find humor and tradgedy, wisdom
and sensuality. Based on Junichiro Tanizaki's
acclaimed novel, it is a film for everyone who's ever
harbored a secret sexual wish.
