Perhaps the strangest element of the various mutually obsessive experimenting-with-sex acts in the film-including lots of erotic asphyxiation-is the part when the male lead played by Tatsuya Fuji places a hardboiled egg into the vagina of his partner (played by Eiko Matsuda). And yes, it’s all “real,” which also makes it often uncomfortable, funny, and yes, sometimes erotic.

A sensual and very primal look at carnal desire, “In the Realm of the Senses” is pretty much constant sex, penetration, bj’s, you name it (and it’s also an examination of when love and sexual possession curdles into something rather psychotic). A fictionalized account of a real event-a 1930s brothel servant’s affair with the madam’s husband which leads to hubby’s penis being severed with a knife-that’s actually not so much the most disturbing part (though yes, this pre-Lorena Bobbit stuff is fucked up). Especially next to Japanese enfant terrible Nagisa Oshima’s 1976 erotic sex drama (read arty pornography) “ In the Realm of the Senses” (though its direct, more appropriate translation is “ Bullfight of Love,” American distributors apparently feeling it necessary to make it sound a bit more sensual). What’s that? Lars von Trier is making a soft-core pornography drama where the lead actors will have unsimulated sex-though of course any real penetration or sex will be performed by body doubling porn actors? That’s cute.
