Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Based upon the case of Sada Abe, who on May 17 1936 killed and emasculated her lover. These events took place during a period of war, economic depression, public unease and growing militarism, a time of unrest and confusion when public opinion was, at best, unpredictable. Sada, condemned by the law, found herself lionized by the press and hailed as a 'saint' of love. Because she committed murder out of passion, the purity of her motivation elevated her from the status of criminal to that of popular heroine.

| User ReviewSylvester KBasically a biopic of Sada Abe, SADA has a few really fun, unconventional moments, though it pretty much turns into a PG version of IN THE REALM OF THE SENSES halfway through. Worth watching for the comedic elements and Obayashi's cheeky style. |
| User ReviewDan LI thought it could be a very good drama movie about the life of a geisha, Sada Abe, but I was wrong. Nobuhiko Obaysashi didn't want people to think this is just another AV look-a-like movie, so he tried so hard to direct the movie with all the artistic approaches, too bad... it's just not good at all. End up... the movie is a piece of sh*t with messy storyline, chaos editing, and weird filming. Poor hitomi Kuroki... what a great actress. |
| User ReviewBen BYou'd think the life of Sada Abe would inspire better movies than this and Nagisa Oshima's, and I say this with much love cause he's made brilliant movies, idiotic hardcore porno movie. You'd think someone could make a good movie out of it. |
