In the Realm of the Senses Movie Trailer (1976) - Plot synopsis: Set in 1936 Tokyo, Sada Abe (Matsuda) is a former prostitute who now works as a maid in a hotel. She meets the hotel's owner, the omnivorous Kichizo Ishida, and the two begin to have an intense affair that consists of little other than fun experiments, drinking, and various self-indulgences. Abe's possessiveness and obsessive behavior with Ishida grows to the point that she threatens to kill him if he so much as looks at another woman (including his own wife). Their mutual obsession escalates to the point where he finds he is most excited by being strangled during lovemaking, and he soon gives her permission to off him in this fashion. She then severs his parts and writes, "Sada and Kichi, now one," in blood on his chest.
