The Realm of the Senses

aka Ai No Corrida, Nagisa Oshima, 1976

Film Description

It is a testament to director Oshima that the Realm of the Senses (Ai No Corrida) was distributed at all. An explicit study of sex and death, the subject matter was so controversial in Japan that cans of film were smuggled to France to be processed. It is fortunate that such resilience and determination surrounded the production, for this is a masterpiece that fuels the exquisite formalism of Japanese cinema with fatalistic erotic power, giving the film a universal and eternal significance.
