Plot – Spoilers:
In pre-War Japan, Sada a prostitute-turned-maid working at a restaurant begins an affair with the owner Kichi. Sada’s refinement in contrast to her gargantuan sexual appetite has Kichi bedazzled and the couple move into a hotel. While Sada’s obsession with his cock flatters Kichi, he also feels overwhelmed by her possessiveness and the couple soon begin to explore darker sexual realms to reinforce their relationship.

Banned all over the place at the time of its release, In the Realm of the Senses has since confused viewers with its artistry, yet unabashed explicitness.

An incredible acquisition by EUM.
It seems odd that the film was regarded as so controversial and banned in so many countries. There is nothing in it that would be inappropriate for an adult audience to see.

Its fucking dull. I looked through the above praise and wonder did I see the same film. 💣💩💣. Normally I would re-watch before commenting but as the films involves more than an hour of the same couple fucking I think I would rather listen to a Sting Album.

Maybe just list 5 good Japanese films so we can see exactly what your real taste is. You can keep the kibble.
..Tampopo, 1985..,
..Tokyo Drifter, 1966..,
..One Cut of the Dead, 2017..,
..Linda Linda Linda, 2005..,
..Picnic, 1996..
I understand people liked fucked up films and that is why they visit this site but personally I like to have a narative and many films on this site have none. Or maybe the subtlety of the bonk, bonk, bonk, cut bonk was too above my intelect.

When infatuation becomes devotion as you fall into what is ultimately self-destruction. Sada is essentially Kichi’s femme fatale and a psychotic one at that. A brilliantly shot period piece to boot. Great film. 4.5/5 kimonos

A masterpiece from the weirdest nation on the planet , brilliant mixture of poetic porn and sadistic love. I particularly loved that women called Men master.
