Sade Abe is a former geisha working as a hotel maid in pre-World War II Japan. After she begins a torrid affair with the owner, they become completely infatuated. Their experimental sexual encounters spiral into an all-consuming and destructive love affair where even life is worth sacrificing.
Opening the 1976 Quinzaine, Nagisa Oshima’s widely-banned and barrier-breaking classic no doubt remains one of the most controversial films of all time. A provocative depiction of disturbing sexual obsession, and, equally, an incendiary (if overshadowed!) critique of Japanese society.
