Review of In the Realm of the Senses (1976) by Keith E — 03 May 2009
I've been reading about this movie for two decades and knew that I was in for some smutty smut, but I was not prepared for how engrossing and devastating the story would be. A true masterpiece of Japanese cinema and one that has stayed with me 5 days after watching it.
When is porn not porn? When the goal of the filmmaker is not to titillate but rather to engross. The only way this movie could be "dirty" is if they were to block out all the naughty bits and call attention to them.
Outstanding.
