In the Realm of the Senses (French: L'Empire des sens, Japanese: 愛のコリーダ, Ai no korīda, "Bullfight of Love") is a 1976 pornographic art film written and directed by Nagisa Ōshima. It is a fictionalised and sexually explicit treatment of an incident from 1930s Japan, that of Sada Abe. An international co-production of France and Japan, the film generated great controversy during its release; while intended for mainstream wide release, it contains scenes of unsimulated sexual activity between the actors (Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda, among others).
