In the Realm of the Senses
In the Realm of the Senses (, Japanese: , "Ai no korīda", "Bullfight of Love") is a 1976 pornographic art film written and directed by Nagisa Ōshima. It is a fictionalised and sexually explicit treatment of an incident from 1930s Japan, that of Sada Abe. An international co-production of France and Japan, the film generated great controversy during its release; while intended for mainstream wide release, it contains scenes of unsimulated sexual activity between the actors (Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda, among others).
