Fox-Lorber has devised a recent level of cruelty for fans of this film. You can have a full-screen version with subtitles or a widescreen version with dubbing. What you need is a widescreen version with subtitles. The dubbing turns this dim parable into a sleazy porno film. The images are carefully and beautifully still – you don’t need them chopped up by pan and scan. In addition, the English language version (the only one I’ve seen) has heinous ‘ghosting’ along the edges of any high-contrast contour – it looks like it was dubbed from a terrible over-the-air tv transmission! It’s also slightly censored – not the version I saw overseas, anyway…Until someone offers a decent DVD version of this film, I recommend passing on these insultingly heinous transfers.
This movie is probably the most erotic film that I’ve seen to date (pornos notwithstanding) . It is a movie about obsession and what can happen when it gets out of control, something that this movie demonstrates well. However, I wished the movie had delved into the background of the characters, especially Sada’s. If the audience watching this film knew about Sada’s past, where she was raped and then outcaste by her wealthy family because of it, I judge the audience would have a better conception about the reason for Sada’s behavior. Mild, despite that and an undeveloped state, the movie is smooth involving. However, if you want to spy a more sanitized version of this account, which is based on an right event that took location in Tokyo in 1936, then collect “A Woman Called Sada Abe”, which is available on both VHS and DVD. From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t have nearly as grand sex and nudity as “In the Realm of the Senses”, which is a expedient thing for people who are easily offended by it. Personally, I liked the sex scenes, which I felt were tasteful and sparkling, unlike what would normally be found in a pornographic movie. There was a lot of emotion displayed in those scenes, and that gave it a clear romantic, authentic dimension to it. For that reason alone, I will notice it again and again.
