(M) Lies (Jang Sun Woo - Korean film)
Grade: C+

(M) In The Realm Of The Senses (Nagisa Oshima - Japanese Film)
Grade: C-

Both these movies were VERY similar. Older married man starts an affair with a younger woman. Realm of the senses is "critically acclaimed" and has never been shown in Japan unedited. Lies I think is banned in Korea. Both movies revolve around sexual exploration that grows beyond standard sexual relations. Lies is a philosophical piece (or intended to be) and Realm of the senses is based on a true story. Lies seemed to have more of a plot than Realm of the senses so I enjoyed it more.
