Even 32 years after its release, this film has not lost any of its transgressive power. Forcing the viewer to shake, even for a moment, that honeyed vision of love imposed by Hollywood, so "normal", so prudish, so boring. It
funny that the Americans boast so much of the boldness of "Blue Velvet" or "Basic Instincts" pure navel-gazing.

first thing that catches the attention of this movie which was released in 1976. Given its controversial and provocative scenes argument was banned in many countries, in fact is still banned in Ireland. This speaks well of creative freedom of Japanese cinema and Japanese cultural maturity, in addition to a history where art has always had a place principal. Recall that the samurai were so skilled with the sword as with a brush.
A small mind is obsessed with sex scenes (real), a narrow mind will fall into the (pre) view moralistic and superficial. And is that this movie only shows its true nature, who is willing to see it without blinders of any kind. Because what is merely tells a story of love unleashed, sick, crazy, misguided, obsessive, violent, tender, intense, decadent. Ultimately a portrait of love much more real and honest to what Hollywood would never dare to show.
This story raises questions such as what is different el amor de la obsesión?, ¿el amor lleva al sexo o puede ocurrir al revés? y la principal de todas ¿el amor tiene límites?
Del final sólo diré que no tiene nada que ver con los cierres empalagosos de las películas gringas (eso hubiese sido un pecado mortal). Y precisamente por eso amé el final de esta historia. Porque en mi opinión, aún en sus imágenes más abyectas, anida la más dulce, incondicional e incomprendida muestra de amor. Misma que transformó a su protagonista Sada Abe, en una leyenda viviente.
Esta película está basada en hechos reales. Para quienes dicen que la vida imita la arte, he aquí la prueba de que siempre ha been, is and will be reversed.
