SANTANA QUINTANA, María del Pino. Paraíso imposible: sexo y diversidad funcional en Oasis (Oasiseu, 2002). Anclajes [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.3, pp.101-113. ISSN 1851-4669.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.19137/anclajes-2019-2338.

Sexual desire in women with functional diversity has hardly been portrayed in films in such an explicit way as in Oasis (Oasiseu, 2012), a raw and romantic drama in equal measure directed by the South Korean auteur Lee Chang-Dong. Through the female protagonist, a young woman with severe cerebral palsy who is confined in her apartment and subject to family and social exclusion, Lee Chang-dong offers a real-life moving portrait of functional diversity. The film denounces prejudices and social stereotypes and dismantles normative femininity, which assumes that a functionally diverse woman possesses an asexual body.
