In The Realm of The Senses (1976)

Rudolf is a good-natured pan-sexual golden boy, who cavorts on his rural estate with a host of beautiful, aristocratic lovers and friends of both sexes. He refuses to leave his country idyll even though he has been ordered to by the Emperor, his father.

Based on a story by well-praised Japanese writer Edogawa Rampo. In Tokyo, 1923, Saburo Gouda is exploring secrets of his fellow-occupants of an apartment building. All from above, using spy-holes bored in ceilings of his neighbors rooms.

A man keeps his girlfriend tied up in his small apartment and tortures her. She is undressed, subjected to various types of bondage, whipped, and tortured with a razor blade. He also brushes her hair, applies make-up on her, and breaks down and cries in the fetal position. In the end the girl gets free and has her revenge.
At the time of its release Wakamatsu was quoted as saying "For me, violence, the body and sex are an integral part of life".

An intense, no-holds-barred exploration of perversion, art and sado-masochism. A blind sculptor, with the aid of his mother, kidnaps and imprisons a young fashion model as a muse for his efforts to sculpt the perfect form. Set in a Dali-esque artist's studio covered in sculptures of giant eyeballs, over-sized limbs and assorted body parts, this incredibly visually inventive tale of madness and sexual obsession powers to a climax prefiguring Oshima's In The Realm of the Senses while recalling Franju's Eyes Without A Face. A call-to-arms for Outsider Art.
