Ai no korîda / L'empire des sens verbeeldt het waargebeurde verhaal van Sada (gespeeld door Matsuda), een dienster en voormalige prostituee die seksueel geobsedeerd raakte door haar baas Kichizo (Fuji). In mei 1936 werd zij gearresteerd met zijn genitaliën in haar handtas. Naar verluidt 'straalde ze van geluk'. Regisseur Oshima balanceerde op de rand van kunst en pornografie en moest vanwege de expliciete seksscènes uitwijken naar Frankrijk om de film te monteren en vertonen. Nog steeds is de film baanbrekend vanwege het subliem geacteerde, onconventionele rollenspel. Internationaal uitgebracht als In the Realm of the Senses.

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, still censored in its own country.
