| AI NO CORRIDA (THE CORRIDA OF LOVE) This bizaare incident, in which a woman at the height of love chopped off her lover's genitals, seemed to be a way of dispelling the oppressive atmosphere of militarism that was overtaking Japan. This incident was made into a movie by Nagisa Oshima. Unfortunately, the uncut version cannot be viewed in Japan. | |
