In the Realm of the Senses (Japanese: 愛のコリーダ, Ai no Korīda?, literally Bullfight (Spanish: Corrida) of Love; French: L'Empire des sens) is a 1976 Franco-Japanese art house romantic drama film directed by Nagisa Oshima. It is a fictionalised and sexually explicit treatment of an incident from 1930s Japan, that of Sada Abe. It 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).

“Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.”
