Empire of the senses box set, CUC plan

No 4K Ultra HD for Nagisa Oshima's Empire of the Senses but a sublime CUC box set (Ultra Collector's Box) made by Carlotta. The 27th of its kind in the collection.

If the new container signed Adam Juresko is sublime, the interior should be just as sublime with a maxi editorialized edition to better analyze this work which caused a scandal when it was presented at Cannes in 1976. Central stone of the head of part of the Japanese New Wave, the film explores the extreme relationship between a man (Tatsuya Fuji) and his servant, a former geisha from Tokyo (Eiko Mat-suda). Gradually, the film closes in on itself and the lovers end up never leaving a small room where they spend their time making love, until the wild marriage of Eros and Thanatos.

On June 18, the call of temptation££££

Franco-Asian co-production, The Empire of the Senses was also for Oshima a challenge to Japanese censorship, which at the time did not allow show non-simulated sexual acts, nor the hair of the protagonists. A powerful and radical film expected in an Ultra Collector's Box on June 18 from Carlotta. The Empire of Passion by Nagisa Oshima and The True Story of Abe Sada by Noboru Tanaka will accompany the film. Please note, pre-orders should open soon.
