ABOUT THE FILM

Banned in director Nagisa Ōshima’s home country of Japan for decades due to its extremely explicit scenes of lovemaking and violence, IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES (Ai no corrida) remains one of the most controversial films of all time. A graphic portrayal of insatiable sexual desire, Ōshima’s film, set in 1936 and based on a true incident, depicts a man and a woman (Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda) consumed by a transcendent, destructive love while living in an era of ever escalating imperialism and governmental control.
