In the Realm of the Senses
Ai no corrida
Plots(1)
In the Realm of the Senses (Ai no corrida), by the always provocative Japanese director Nagisa Oshima, remains one of the most controversial films of all time. Based on a true incident, it graphically depicts the all-consuming, transcendent—but ultimately destructive—love of a man and a woman (Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda) living in an era of ever escalating imperialism and governmental control. Less a work of pornography than of politics, In the Realm of the Senses is a brave, taboo-breaking milestone, still censored in its own country. (Criterion)

I like Japanese movies, that's one thing. The second is the fact that the creators are not afraid. Violence and nudity must be a part of the movie if it is a part of the plot and the meaning of the story. Any deliberate covering up and camera positions are pointless. And I also like a strong self-destructive or destructive story. Everything fulfilled. A strong experience.
