  • "Dans le Japon de 1936, Sada, la domestique d'une auberge et aussi prostituée devient la maîtresse passionnée de Kichi, le mari de sa patronne. Pour accroître l'intensité de leurs jeux amoureux, ils en viennent à l'administration de douleur et des strangulations conduisant à la mort de Kichi, après quoi Sada le châtre. Avec Tatsuya Iuji, Eiko Matsuda."
  • "The story is based on the tabloid sensation of 1936, the fatal love affair of Sada Abe, a former geisha turned maid, and Kichizo Yoshida, the owner of the Tokyo ryotei (Japanese-style restaurant) at which she worked. Abandoning his wife and his business, Kichizo gives himself up to two weeks of dissipation with Sada at a nearby inn, which climaxes in sadomasochistic love games--and his strangulation and mutilation. Kichizo is tired of life, of the militarism that has everywhere suppressed Eros in favor of Thanatos, and he and Sada are escaping, protesting, testing physical and psychological limits, while resisting a social order that condemns their actions and their very being."
  • "Based on the real incident of Abe Sada. An ex-prostitute becomes involved in an obsessive love affair with the master of the household where she is employed as a servant which culminates in murder and mutilation."
  • "An ex-prostitute becomes a household servant and ends up in an obsessive relationship with the master of the household."
  • "Still censored in its 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."
