In the Realm of the Senses
In the face of such difficulties, a few of the key figures of the Japanese New Wave were still able to make notable films – Oshima's 1976 film "In the Realm of the Senses" became internationally famous in its blend of historical drama and aspects of pornography (drawn from an actual historical incident), and – after a return to filmmaking Teshigahara won acclaim for his experimentalistic documentary "Antonio Gaudí" (1984) and the features "Rikyu" (1989) and "Princess Goh" (1992). Shōhei Imamura eventually became one of only four filmmakers to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for multiple films – "The Ballad of Narayama" (1983), and "The Eel" (1997).
