Love Exposure

Watching this was such an amazing experience. I felt so immersed in the world, and it’s so abstract and colorful - a fever dream in the best way possible. Such a genius way to tell a story, and flawed yet lovable characters. It also felt like such nice breath of fresh air with a the hollywood gunk these days, it looks amazing and you aren’t bored a single second.

What am I supposed to say about "Love Exposure"? The only thing I can say for sure is that I have never watched a film like this. It starts off as one of the most disorienting things ever if you are familiar with trashy Japanese television. At first, it just feels like a "so bad it's good" Japanese TV series. The parodic overtones are evident, but there are also a lot of insanely twisted moments, absurd scenes, and extreme action to catch you off guard and, at the same time, suck you in until you will end up binge-watching all four hours straight. It's hard to describe, but it almost felt like the "Wild at Heart" of Japanese sentimental melodrama, the "Pulp Fiction" of anime live actions (beware that the writing is not even half as good).

Runs far too long, but the story and characters are interesting enough to keep you engaged throughout. Quite an offbeat, but touching love story.

Really enjoyed this one!
