Banned at its premiere at the New York Film Festival in 1976, this long-awaited erotic masterpiece has never before been available on home video. Based on one of Japan's most notorious scandals, In The Realm Of The Senses is the story of an ex-prostitute who becomes involved in an obsessive love affair with the master of the household where she is employed as a servant. What starts as a casual diversion escalates into a passion that holds no bounds.
 
"Spectacularly erotic... It is unmistakably a pioneering work of the movie arts."  The Los Angeles Times
"Absorbing... Powerful..."  The London Times
"Extraordinary. The performances have an intensity beyond belief...erotic, meaningful and true."  The Hollywood Reporter
 


Editor's Note

In 1936, in the midst of rising Japanese militarism, a former prostitute, Sada, goes to work as a maid in a brothel. The house's handsome owner, Kichizo, soon begins to court her, and Sada eagerly returns his attentions. Their subsequent affair and constant lovemaking grow more and more intense, and their sexual obsession threatens to destroy them both. Nagisa Oshima's long-awaited erotic Japanese masterpiece (initially banned from the New York Film Festival in 1976) is finally available. Contains highly explicit content, recommended for adult audiences only.
