OMFG.
I TACKLED IT. ALL 237 MINUTES OF IT.
And it was glorious. Oh so so glorious.
I wanted to go see Sion Sono's new film Love Exposure at Fantasia Fest but when I heard of it, it was the day after the screening. I was regretted not hearing about it before. I searched everywhere for the english subs and lo, behold. I managed to get a copy of it. I was a bit intimidated at first by the running time (4 hours) cause usually long hours means they're filled with useless scenes (I'm looking at you, Jodhaa Akbar >:() Apparently, this story was inspired on one of Mr. Sono's friends who was into spy photography and this friend did whatever he could to save his sister from a religious cult.
But bloody hell, this is THE BEST FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE SO FAR. Those 4 hours didn't feel like 4 hours at all. By the end of it, I wanted more... I was gripping at the edge of my seat. It's a friggin' masterpiece.
Yeah, I know I say that alot but I'm serious. I'm really serious.
I don't know how to define this film.. it's a romantic comedy with EVERY GENRE POSSIBLE. And man, did Mr. Sono pull it off.
Check out the trailer. The trailer speaks for itself.
