Oshima’s film centres on the love affair between Ishida and Sada portraying their sexual relations in a graphic detail, and its explicit nature led to some critics dismissing In The Realm of the Senses as p*rnography and the outright banning of the film in a number of countries on release. This incident was the particularly gruesome murder of Kichizo Ishida by his lover, Abe Sada: after having choked Ishida to death, Sada cut off his penis and carried it around with her until she was caught two days later. In The Realm of the Senses is based upon a real-life incident which took place in Japan on 17 th May 1936.
