In the Realm of the Senses

nagisa oshima 1976
ai no korida
Set in 1936 Tokyo, Sada Abe (Matsuda) is a former prostitute who now works as a maid in a hotel. She meets the hotel's owner, the sexually omnivorous Kichizo Ishida, and the two begin to have an intense affair that consists of little other than sexual experiments, drinking, and various self-indulgences. Abe's possessiveness and obsessive behavior with Ishida grows to the point that she threatens to kill him if he so much as looks at another woman (including his own wife). Their mutual obsession escalates to the point where he finds he is most excited by being strangled during lovemaking, and he soon gives her permission to kill him in this fashion. She then severs his genitals and writes, "Sada and Kichi, now one," in blood on his chest.

Does the word SPOILER not mean anything to you?

[Blether333]

It is a pretty movie, and the story intrigues. As for explicit sex... it makes a refreshing change. Cheapens it ? Why ?

[Phoenixkidd]

It's such an exquisite film, except I wish there wasn't such explicit scenes, it kind of cheapens it. It's amazing portrayal of the true story a crime of passion at it's best.

@eclipse888

Go on google, search "In the realm of the senses megavideo" and you should find it. It's a pretty good film if you can look past the explicit sex scenes. Personally, I prefer The Empire of Passion. Now that is a good folktale-like film! Both actors = amazing!
