Review of In the Realm of the Senses (1976) by Cindy I — 20 Jan 2008

Porn dressed up as art. This Japanese-made film tells the supposedly true story of a couple who are sexually obsessed with each other to the point of murder. While it's titillating enough in places (a very quick fellatio scene is here for example), it's actually kinda boring watching these people have sex all the time.

And once one of the main characters snaps towards the end, it loses all momentum it had. Yawn.
