Sex Drive

About This Movie

Sex Drive (1968) is quite the curious piece of cinema, blending academia with a rather scandalous narrative. The film showcases Professor Katayama’s juggling act, balancing relationships with his mistress and a colleague’s wife, while trying to keep his own spouse oblivious. While the director remains a mystery, the film’s tone feels almost playful yet carries an underlying tension that intrigues. The pacing moves steadily, reflecting the chaotic nature of Katayama's life, and the performances feel genuine, capturing the awkwardness and complexity of adult relationships. It's definitely a niche film that shows a unique take on infidelity and desire, and the practical effects are minimal, allowing the character-driven storytelling to take center stage.

Sex Drive has seen limited releases over the years, making it a bit of a rarity among collectors. The film was initially hard to find in good condition, but a few vintage VHS copies have circulated among niche collectors. Interest seems to be growing as more enthusiasts discover its quirky narrative and character dynamics, leading to discussions about its place in the late '60s film landscape.
