In the Realm of the Senses
1976 · TMDB 6.6 · 愛のコリーダ
Directed by Nagisa Ōshima
A passionate telling of the story of Sada Abe, a woman whose affair with her master led to an obsessive and ultimately destructive sexual relationship.
Why it matters
Nagisa Oshima's controversial masterpiece, based on the true story of a maid and her master whose obsessive affair escalates to mutual destruction. The film's explicit sexuality is inseparable from its critique of power, possession, and the commodification of desire.
