At nearly 4 hours of duration, LOVE EXPOSURE pretty much covers from love to hate, family dysfunction to religious perversions, and from hentai-ism to affection in its purest form. If that doesn't sound confusing enough, this is one film that fuses reality with manga-logic, yet as you journey through the story, it all strangely makes sense. By the time you're half way into the film, you find yourself accepting all the sacrilege and values you were brought up to condemn and despise. Whether this film was made on the fly and strung up together into a story in the editing room, this is an experience I could only describe as a Doctor Zhivago-esquire romance lived out in an Ichi-the-killer world.
watch at your own risk - rest your values aside, and experience the weird ride that'll keep you thinking there is no hope in this world... but in the end, you'll find it strangely rewarding to have sat through this flawed masterpiece.
