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 film, that's one thing. The second is the fact that the creators are not afraid. Exposing violence and nudity must be part of the film if it is part of the plot and the point of the story. Intentional obscuring and camera angles are pointless. I also like the strong self-destructive or destructive storyline. Everything I wanted. A powerful experience.
