In 1895, in a small village in Japan, the wife of the litter carrier Gisaburo (Takahiro Tamura), Seki (Kazuko Yoshiyuki), has an affair with a man twenty-six years younger, Toyiji (Tatsuya Fuji). Toyiji becomes jealous of Gisaburo and plots with Seki to kill him. They strangle Gisaburo and dump his body inside a well in the woods, and Seki tells the locals that Gisaburo moved to Tokyo to work. Three years later, the locals gossip about the fate of Gisaburo, and Seki is haunted by his ghost. The situation becomes unbearable to Seki and Toyiji when a police authority comes to the village to investigate the disappearance of Gisaburo.
"Ai no Borei" is a surreal and supernatural love story. The remorse and the guilty complex of Seki make her see the ghost of her murdered husband, spoiling the perfect plot of her lover. The cinematography is jeopardized by the quality of the VHS released in Brazil, but there are very beautiful scenes, inclusive "Ringu" and the American remake "The Ring" use the view of the well from inside in the same angle. The performances and direction are excellent making "Ai no Borei" a great movie. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "O Império da Paixão" ("The Empire of Passion")
Seki and her lover Toyoji decide to devise a plan to get rid of Gisaburo, Seki's husband, in order to be together.
A good old Japanese horror classic from the late 70s, about betrayal and revenge.
Asian cinema is full of gems of this kind, a calculated, psychological terror and with the right dose of drama.
Here, the supernatural figure is an allegory to the feeling of guilt and remorse, which consumes and destroys the human kind.
The story isn't rich in content and doesn't have a complex plot, nothing really happens besides focusing on the two main characters and the criminal act they committed, but that is enough to make it interesting.
The cinematography is good, as well as the sets, which makes a tense and enveloping atmosphere and mood.

An atmospheric, grim, and often visually beautiful film about a man who has an affair with a woman, and convinces her they should murder her husband. Standard plot, but it's done well, and combines the inevitable "things falling apart after a poorly organised crime" stuff with an added horror element, as the murder victim returns as a ghost to haunt the small town the film takes place in.
Wasn't a fan of the horror element at first, as it felt like it wasn't entirely needed, but it grew on me. There are certainly a couple of scenes where the horror stuff is done well, and I guess whether it's a literal ghost or a manifestation of guilt within the minds of certain characters is still nice and ambiguous.
Maybe feels a little long in parts, and there's nothing outstandingly unique about it, but it tells its simple story well, has a great feel-bad kind of mood to it, and all the sets/locations/costumes/other visual aspects are all pulled off expertly.

This is a film by Oshima, the director of the notorious "In The Realm Of The Senses", a film so sexually brazed and unabashedly controversial it was banned for a while. This film takes place initially in 1895 in Japan and stars the very pretty Keziko Yoshiyuki as Seki, the wife of a rickshaw driver who falls for a much younger man who woos her in kind. That man, Toyoji, comes to her as she was sleeping and seduces her, though she soon is rather willing to be seduced. Soon they are having an affair and plot to kill Seki's husband, to be together forever. They do, and throw him down a well. However, they didn't count on the ghost of the dead husband haunting Seki and others in the village! This film is visually very stunning, the use of shadows highlighting this tale of murder for passion. Ms. Yoshiyuki (who is still active as an actress) is especially very good in her role. Its sexual at times, but not like "In The Realm Of The Senses". Some of what ensues is up to our imagination. I found this film to have a consistency of mood that makes it very watchable. A little creepy but that goes with the territory. I'd recommend this.
In the Realm of the Senses is a beautifully filmed, well-written, and splendidly acted film. It tells the haunting story of a woman who kills her husband after falling in love with another man. The ghost of her husband continues to haunt her lond after his murder. This film is really good, anyone interested should definitely check it out.

- WissenswertesThough a great deal is made of the two main characters' age difference in the story--Seki is supposed to be 26 years older--the actors playing them were only 6 years apart. Kazuko Yoshiyuki (Seki) was about 43, while Tatsuya Fuji (Toyoji) was about 37.
- PatzerAt 35:15 when Toyoji and Seki throw Gisaburo's body (a dummy) in the well, the dummy brushes an "icicle" which then wobbles and swings like a pendulum - apparently a prop suspended by a string.
