Still censored in it's own country, in the Realm of the Senses (Ai no corrida), by Japanese director Nagisa Oshima, remains one of the most controversial films of all time. A graphic portrayal of insatiable sexual desire, Oshima's film, set in 1936 and based on a true incident, depicts a man and a woman (Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda) consumed by a transcendent, destructive love while 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. SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES: new, restored high-definition digital transfer, new audio commentary with film scholar Tony Rayns, more. Runtime: 102 Minutes.
