an explicit but only okay erotic story about a woman that slowly becomes more and more obsessed with her sexual partner. she also gets more and more violent eventually resulting in... well... you'll see! all i have to say is "ouch!". worth a watch if you don't mind explicit sex in your movies. also it's based around a true happening in the 1930's

MCT:July 6, 2008Love Nagisa Oshima. This is some pretty heady stuff, nothing you want to watch with your kids, even if they are all grown up. Based on true events, Oshima's raw portrayal of spiraling degeneration is in a class of it's own. Not for the faint of heart.

MCT:June 7, 2008A Japanese cult classic exclusively for the open-minded to new alternatives of storytelling and artistic forms of expression. Although the film may cause an incredible amount of controversy around the world, it is undeniably powerful, dark, graphic and unbelievable. Give this film (which could have been a lot better, PERHAPS) a shot. Not to be missed, but my warning has already been said. Enjoy!

MCT:March 5, 2008En 3 palabras: Mejor una porno. Es una interminable tortura para acabar con el peor final de la historia del cine. Insufrible.

Porn dressed up as art. This Japanese-made film tells the supposedly true story of a couple who are sexually obsessed with each other to the point of murder. While it's titillating enough in places (a very quick fellatio scene is here for example), it's actually kinda boring watching these people have sex all the time. And once one of the main characters snaps towards the end, it loses all momentum it had. Yawn.

Highly controversial is 'In the realm of
the Senses'. The movie is set in Japan, 1936 when Japan was on the verge of war. Based on a true event it tells the story of a young prostitute and her affair with the husband of the brothels madam. The movie achieves and reaches a remarkable level of erotic intimacy. This is a story of crazy love taken to the ultimate extreme. -
MCT:October 1, 2007As lewd an disgusting as American viewers may find this masterpiece's shocking and blunt sexuality. each scene of passion builds and changes along with the characters' psychological states of love, serving a beautiful and artistic purpose like no other film has ever displayed.

Ai no corrida (aka in the realm of the senses 1976), in its simplest terms, is Japanese pornography with a pretty name and an interesting story. In 1936 a man started an affair with one of his servants that eventually lead to his death. Basically the two went to such extremes that they gave up food and sleep just to continue making love day and night. After it was filmed it had to be shipped to France for development before being released, due to japan's strict censorship policies. It than went on to be banned in several countries until the late 80's. But the oddest part about this film of sexual obsession is that it's based on a true story.

This movie gives us a an idea how obsession can be fatal...It also has many political issues and societal issues that are still observed today..It is quite feminist i can say because of the death of the male character in the story which probably meant the death aslo of the patriarchal and machismo culture in Japanese society. I dnt really recommend this to everyone but if you want to have a taste of the real slice of life,then i dare you to watch this..

nem ninfomaníacos agüentam tanto sexo. é um filme pornô tosco que, não sei por que cargas d'água, virou cult.

MCT:June 18, 2007Tedious, nothing more than pornography in disguise. the shoking ending is the only remarkable moment, and it makes the film quite bearable.

A brilliant film that takes an interesting look at love and sexual obsession. Not easy viewing for males - be warned!

Intense, disturbing and forthright about sex in a way that few other films dare to be, this film caused quite a scandal when first released in the mid 70's. However this ain't no 'Deep Throat' (although there is a bit of that too).
Main actors Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda deliver 2 absolutely believable depictions of a couple literally driven mad by sex. Be warned, there's no soft-focus, sentimentality here and very little effort made to tittilate or amuse the viewer. i've no doubt this film isn't for everybody but then again, great art rarely is.
A bona-fide masterpiece of modern Japanese cinema.
(is mid 70's still modern?). -

This is a real love story full of metaphors, but too way different from the romanticism that the people are used to see in common films, this one takes the sex as main element to express the feelings (in a obssesive and perturbing way, which is the more interesting thing about the movie, but not the only one) but, once again, it does not in a commercial or usual way, just sex in their more pure expression. In this way, it's recommendable if you are tired to see the same love stories without a real sense of humanity.

I have a few issues with this movie. First off it felt like it was way too long and didn't really make me care for the characters that much, therefore I didn't really care about the movie. Second, while it does deal with sex in a mature way, I've got a bit of an issue when it just tries to do too much, and this is one of them. I can dig a really sexy movie with tons of sex and sex scenes but even this made me go really that's enough. And, third, what the hell was with the script. it just sucked, and no pun intended really. Overall just a week movie which while it's sexy does nothing to excite.
