IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES in 35mm
Special Features: 50th Anniversary
[愛のコリーダ] [AI NO KORĪDA]
Japanese filmmaker Nagisa Ōshima’s abiding fascination with the most dangerous extremes of sexual desire gave way to his pornographic masterpiece, one of the most intensely debated films of the 1970s and one of the first to artistically depict explicit sex. Marking a triumph for Ōshima’s visionary melding of eroticism and politics, the release of his first French-financed project resulted in a major international scandal and a trial on obscenity charges. Based on the true story of a tempestuous affair between a dangerous prostitute and a gambler in the 1930s, IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES is both a sumptuous period piece and a fascinating study of the intermingling of sex and death.
