On a mission to make 'obscenity disappear' one sees complete nudity, sex, an extramarital affair, S&M inclusive of pain inflicted with or without foreign objects (Kichizo: 'it hurts but feels good'), exhibitionism, ingestion, prostitution, promiscuity/free sex, exposure of children and sex with the elderly. The film unequivocally depicts one X-rated sexual act and thought after another. He would live to tell the tale, but to this day the film is only seen in Japan cut, censored and pixelated.

When we feel that everything has been revealed, 'obscenity' disappears' He needed his powers of articulation because - and not for the first time - he would land in court in Japan defending his art. 'The concept of 'obscenity' is tested when we dare to look at something that we desire to see but have forbidden ourselves to look at. Oshima's statement in this regard sheds light on his intent. Indeed the old geisha who at one point entertains the main characters of this film, when the younger ones ended up refusing to return, proclaims 'that's natural for a woman' to constantly have sex with a man. His distaste for what he saw as the society's backward march, group-think and suppression of free speech is the driving force behind the feature. Nagisa Ôshima saw obscenity and censorship as anathema to progress and indeed believed Japan has taken many steps backwards since the days of pleasure quarters, open prostitution in brothels, openness and individuality. Given the imagery and subject matter the film could easily be labelled pornography however, the presence of respectable/mainstream/traditional cast, crew, studio and production values - not to mention anti-pornographic (pink eiga) film techniques - renders it enough of a something else to confuse most and push the boundary well back. It is pornographic, but directed to be the opposite. Here is a film with full sexuality, nudity, penetration, S&M and more whose mission, for starters, is to push the boundaries, promote free speech and deconstruct obscenity. Written and directed by Japan's Nagisa Ôshima's, 1976's In The Realm of Senses (Ai No Korida or 'love's/lover's bullfight') clinches the title as a risqué and explicit art film conceived to break taboos.

Making the audience feel unsettled, uncomfortable and flinch is part of the intention here. Although few deny that sex is exciting many assert it is not proper or art. Show two humans have sex for pleasure and millions will revolt. Trick people, steal their identities, wealth or children, make war, drop bombs or annihilate planets and it is all fine. Of all the categories of film ones depicting open sex are the most controversial.
