In the Realm of the Senses
The "Commedia sexy all'italiana" genre of Italian film of the 1970s and early 1980s featured abundant female nudity in a clichéd form, most of it for the local market, but some for the international market. The Italian-produced "Last Tango in Paris" (1973), directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, was one of the first commercial films to openly contain nudity, and led to the boom of other fashion erotic films, such as the French-produced "Emmanuelle" (1974) and the Franco-German production "Story of O" (1975) by Just Jaeckin, the Franco-Japanese production "In the Realm of the Senses" (1976) by Nagisa Oshima, and the Italian-American produced "Caligula" (1979) by Tinto Brass.
