Pedro Marta Santos praised the preponderance of cinemascope in this film made in 1960 by Nagisa Öshima, author of "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" and "The Empire of Senses"

Without the tragic vertigo of the masterpiece "The Solemn Ceremony" (1971), these "Tales" will surprise the unsuspecting viewer, with the feverish violence and early mastery of cinemascope – and n & rsquo; Is not "The Empire of the Senses" (1976), with the alibi of historical fiction, the apogee (up to necrophilia) of the emotional void of this "miracle" Japanese"?
With Yusuke Kawaso and Miyuki Kuwano
