Thor 5,273 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 No one cared...You haven't seen In the Realm of the Senses or Empire of Passion, then...I have. Oshima was a great proponent of the Japanese New Wave in the 70's. REALM caused quite a stir here in Norway and was banned for many years. In fact, it had its Norwegian premiere only about 10 years ago or so! It's an interesting film, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 423 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I only just saw Senses four years ago. For all the buzz about its explicit sexual scenes, it certainly was an eye-opener and all that controversy warranted. I disagree about critics calling it cold and un-erotic... full of emotion and eroticism. Some of the scenes were definitely cold and emotionless, but that's the point of the film.Japanese new wave cinema is certainly something to behold. Even though Oshima didn't direct it, I also really like House... a seriously warped and bizarre film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
