Love Exposure ( or Ai no mukidashi ) is a very unique love/comedy flick that centres around 3 characters: Yu is the son of a recently broken-hearted priest obsessed with hearing confession; Koike is a cocaine dealing, overpriced religious artifacts selling regional leader Watch Love Exposure Movie Online
of a church-like cult named Church Zero; and Yoko is the step-daughter of the woman who dumped the priest, demolishes houses part-time and tolerates only one man in her life: the notorious singer of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain.
On a fateful day Yu, master of the mystical Japanese art of Tosatsu ( which is the ability to stealthily take an up-skirt shot of a girl’s panties ) and leader of a 4-man Tosatsu team loses a bet to one of his disciples… The result? Humiliation. Dressed in drag clothes, he must declare his love to a girl he likes! Having searched in vain all his life for his “Maria” Yu, disguised as Miss Scorpion, rescues a young girl about to be attacked. Could this be love? Could this young damsel in distress be his long awaited “Maria”? Fate thrusts our hero into the arms of the beautiful Yoko and he instantly falls for her but Yoko, who hates all men, falls for Miss Scorpion. In then comes Koike. Convinced she can use Yu’s father’s congregation to her cult’s advantage she devises a plan to seduce Yoko in order to gain access to Yu’s family and in the process develops a crush on him.
I have to say there’s something alarmingly charming about Takahiro Nishijima’s character Yu. He made me chuckle quite a few times in the beginning of the story. Having to invent crimes and sins in order to satisfy his dad made me crack up. Even his dad is funny as hell in the beginning. Then there’s Yu’s new found crew that light up the screen whenever they were all together. Tai-chi Tosatsu is so hilarious. There is a lot of religious content in this movie but I don’t think it’s meant to be taken seriously, after all the characters all seemed caricatured. Surprises are abound , for example there’s a healthy dose of drama in there too. At some point in the story, every character of note starts to feel more real to me ( hard-ons excluded ). The beautiful Hikari Mitsushima plays an angst-ridden to perfection and Sakura Ando is simultaneously desirable but creepy. Being beaten by her dad while screaming: “Give it to me! Give it to me!” is a memorable moment.
The music is a weird blend of classical and pop songs. Beethoven’s symphony no.7 is not something you would ever imagine being in a film like this but strangely enough it works. The fact that only a small segment of music is played at any given time prevents the watcher/audience from ever questioning the musical choices made by director Sion Sono ( I am personally not a big fan of Japanese pop music but I didn’t mind ).
The timing of the music is very well done and it always feels like it’s adding something to the scene rather than taking something away from it. The camera work is fine although you get a sense that budget restrictions might have influenced the quality of equipment. Watch Love Exposure Movie Online
The Wow Factor here is the story itself. From beginning to end originality is key. I mean you’ll go from cut off to religious fervour in the blink of a eye. Sword fights with gallons and gallons of blood, insane asylums with armed visitors, brainwashing, girls kissing, perverts with , a school bus used as a jail cell, uncontrollable erections, parental abuse, catholic hypocrisy and so on and so on…There is so much stuff in this 4-hour long film to keep you entertained it reminded me of an ice cream parlour: There’s a flavour for everyone!
Three emotionally abused individuals from the fringes of society get locked in a convoluted love triangle. Yuu, a Catholic boy searching for true love ends up taking "panty shot" photos of women in public until he discovers Yoko, whom he sees as his Virgin Mary. Yoko, an anti-family, misandrist girl finds that her foster mother will be marrying Yuu's father. Koike, an "original sinner" and the regional leader of a brainwashing cult, co-ordinates a plan to convert Yuu's family to her cult. Under her careful direction, their lives come crashing together in one fateful street fight.
