8. In the Realm of the Senses
A feature length masterpiece by Nagisa Oshima, In the Realm of the Senses tells the tale of a young, sexually active youth who becomes employed by a traditional Japanese brothel, only to fall deeply in love with one of the main proprietors, thus beginning their tangled journey of erotics, fetish, and betrayal.
Though be warned: this film is the product of Oshima’s frustration with Japanese national sexuality, thus many boundaries are pushed and broken in the process. Be prepared to watch all modesty and privacy be thrown out the window. Also, be ready for some blood.
