Eros y Masacre es la biografía del rebelde socialista de principios del siglo XX Sakae Osugi, y de las tres mujeres que compartieron su vida: Hori Yasuko, su mujer; su segunda amante, la celosa Itsuko Masaoka, una militante feminista; y Noe Ito, su tercera amante, una importante activista social y novelista. Paralelamente a la historia de Osugi, la película sigue las aventuras sub rumbo de dos estudiantes radicales de los 60: la ninfómana Eiko y el impotente y pirómano Wada, explorando teorías políticas e ideas sobre el amor libre mantenidas por Osugi. Fantasean sobre la Era Taisho, y Yoshida alterna y mezcla continuamente la línea entre la fantasía y la realidad hasta que las dos líneas argumentales se entremezclan. Yoshida, como su contemporáneo Godard, acepta que una película es un artificio y juega con el espacio y el tiempo.
