Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
It was made 33 years ago but Nagisa Oshima's doomed lust classic doesn't look in the least bit dusty. Quite the opposite.

London Evening Standard
Rating: 5/5 --
As the soundtrack moans in sympathy while the deep crimson colours dazzle in delirium, the entire movie comes desperately close to approximating the pell-mell emotional turmoil of sex itself. Not porn, sex.

Time and space are suspended in [director Nagisa] Oshima's beautiful images.

Los Angeles Free Press
Rating: 5/5 --
Unsanitised, worryingly convincing in its sadomasochistic detail, this is seriously provocative cinema, a telling reminder of what it really means to be dangerous.

Time Out
Rating: 5/5 --
One of the most extraordinary moments in screen history. Oshima's film widens and deepens the sensual realm.

Guardian
This particular consideration of mutual possession which approaches and then transcends death is well-paced and, within story possibilities, -acted as well.

Rating: 2/5 --
Declaring yourself bored by a movie full of explicit sex may sometimes mark you out as a dreary pseudo-sophisticate, but in this case it's fair enough.

Product Description:
NTSC/Region 0. Based on one of Japan's most notorious scandals, this film tells the story of an ex-prostitute who becomes involved in an obsessive love affair with the master of the household, the story between Sada and Kichi. Sada is employed as maid servant when Kichi is her master. What starts as a casual diversion escalates into a passion that holds no bounds. Banned at it's premiere at the New York Film Festival in 1976, this long-awaited erotic masterpiece has never before been available on home video until 1990.
