"Crazy Love—A Double Bill Not for the Faint of Heart: On the face, Senso’s operatic melodrama and the pornographic explicitness of In the Realm of the Senses make for an odd coupling, but both serve up powerfully extreme and provocative portrayals of love run amok. Exquisitely photographed and scored, both are tales of unbridled passion and lust told against backdrops of political and social turmoil. Both end with women gone mad, consumed by obsessive love that destroys their men, who both die at their lovers’ hands. Luchino Visconti and Nagisa Oshima are filmmakers of deeply different sensibilities and concerns, of course, and the meaning and import of their stories are utterly divergent. Senso is an opulent, chilling tragedy of individuals bound in their lives and times. In the Realm of the Senses is transcendental; in death, love is forever."

A raw, relatable journey...
I read the book in a single sitting, this book contains poetry and prose of the highest calibre.

Lauren Cresswell writes a raw, emotional journey, one that no matter what your experiences of love, lust or loss, you will definitely relate to.

Expect to feel a strong range of emotions, ones that will bring up many memories of the best of times, and maybe the worst of times, the times that make us who we are.

At points this book literally brought me to tears. The book gives us a no-holes-barred, at some point almost psychedelic view into the author's experiences, experiences we all know too well, with a form that perfectly highlights the highs and lows of love.

Overall, a must read for anybody.
