In Canada, when originally submitted to the provincial film boards in the 1970s, the film was rejected in all jurisdictions except Quebec and British Columbia. The film is available in uncut form in France, Germany, the United States (as part of The Criterion Collection), the Netherlands, Belgium and several other territories. The pornographic content of the production also caused it to be banned in Israel in 1987. In 2000, it finally became available in its complete version. In Australia, the film was originally banned, but a censored version was made available in 1977. All of the adult sexual activity was left intact, but a shot in which Sada yanks the penis of a prepubescent boy after he misbehaves was reframed, zooming in so that only the reaction of the boy was shown. It was given an official countrywide cinema release in 1991, though the video release was delayed until 2000 when it was passed with an "18" certificate (suitable for adults only). The film opened at the Gate Cinema Club in 1978. The ban was lifted in 1994, and Belgium has not censored a film of any kind since.Īt the time of its initial screening at the 1976 London Film Festival, the British Board of Film Censors recommended that it be shown under private cinema club conditions to avoid the need for heavy cuts, but only after the Obscene Publications Act had been extended to films in 1977 to avoid potential legal problems. The film was not available on home video until 1990, although it was sometimes seen uncut in film clubs.Īt the time, the only European country in which the film was banned was Belgium. It was also banned because of a scene in which Kichi pushes an egg into Sada's vulva, forcing her to push it out of her vagina before Kichi eats the egg. In the United States, the film was initially banned upon its premiere at the 1976 New York Film Festival but was later screened uncut, and a similar fate awaited the film when it was released in Germany. At its premiere in Japan, the film's sexual activity was optically censored using reframing and blurring. This obstruction was bypassed by officially listing the production as a French enterprise, and the undeveloped footage was shipped to France for processing and editing. Strict censorship laws in Japan would not have allowed the film to be made according to Ōshima's vision. The French title was taken from Roland Barthes's book about Japan, L'Empire des signes ( Empire of Signs, 1970). and the U.K., and under L'Empire des sens ( Empire of the Senses) in France. Nevertheless, the movie complements the book fine and I feel that Dostoyevsky admirers should see it.The film was released under the title of In the Realm of the Senses in the U.S. For example, Isabelle Huppert gets first billing although she appears for less than 10 minutes.

My impression is that they couldn't, and that the movie addresses mostly those who have.

I wonder whether someone who hasn't read the novel could follow the plot. I would probably think much more of this movie if I haven't previously seen the play.

However, having seen a theater adaptation in Narodno pozorite in Belgrade, I can testify that this is not true. I guess the natural thing to think is that such a complex and long novel can not be faithfully dramatized. Many important characters pass unnoticed. Some parts of this story are transferred to screen nicely however other important parts are only touched or completely missing. I guess Wajda wanted us to see the story from Shatov's viewpoint. Instead, the movie is focused on Shatov, the only character one could possibly identify with. He disappears about half an hour before the end. Although Stavrogin is the central character of the Dostoyevsky's novel, in this movie it is not so. So, "the devils went out of this Russian man and entered into a herd of swine." his eloquent (but meaning nothing to himself) speeches leave deep marks in others and cause a lot of suffering and even death. Unfortunately, he is also a handsome and charismatic man, influencing many people. Nikolai Stavrogin is a person that tries to prove his freedom by believing in nothing and mocking everything and everyone around him.
