Banned by U.S. customs upon its arrival, Nagisa Ôshima's sexual shocker tells about the bizarre, true-to-life love affair between restaurateur Kichizō Ishida (Tatsuya Fuji) and prostitute Sada Abe (Eiko Matsudo) in 1930s Tokyo. As the pair shatter taboos, they embark on a relationship packed with torrid passion, graphic sex, and, ultimately, extreme violence that will shape their destinies. With Aoi Nakajima, Yasuko Matsui. 102 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English. In Japanese with English subtitles. Region Free
