Nagisa Ōshima's most controversial movie out of a filmography of controversial movies and one of the most notorious films of all time. In the Realm of the Senses is a giant of a film.

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death. The government is corrupt, and we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. I open up my wallet and it's full of blood.
