Sada Abe in film
There have been at least three movies detailing her life:
- 1975 - Noboru Tanaka's A Woman Called Sada Abe was released, for a Japan-only audience, but was overshadowed by its more explicit successor that came out the following year.
- 1976 - Nagisa Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses which was widely banned following its 1976 release, for nearly constant (real) sex and nudity.
- 1998 - Nobuhiko Obayashi's Sada (1998) was the most recent film version.
