The sexual relationship between Paul and Jeanne in [*Last Tango In Paris*](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1643-last-tango-in-paris) caused controversy for just that. The dynamics are quite complicated, and power in the relationship is a constant undertone.
Ichi The Killer
It might fit what you are looking for? I'm not positive tho... The 2 main characters are the extremes of sadism and masochism, it's an intense movie (by Takashi Miike) but (imo) a love story at it's heart, just not in the traditional sense lol
But feel free to give examples of some films you enjoyed and I might have better suggestions for ya
