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).

“Most men are like me. They cannot live in a universe where the most bizarre thought can in one second enter into the realm of reality—where, most often, it does enter, like a knife in a heart.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
