Love Exposure
The story of a teenage boy named Yu, who falls for Yoko, a girl he runs into while working as an "up-skirt" photographer in an offshoot of the porn industry. His attempts to woo her are complicated by a spot of cross-dressing – which convinces Yoko that she is lesbian – dalliances with kung-fu and crime, and a constant struggle with the guilt that's a legacy of his Catholic upbringing.

Just perfect...
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Everything about this movie screams ''not worth watching''. It is totally unconvincing and the only group that might find this interesting is people between 12-16 year old that are idolizing Japanese pop culture. I never seen something so cringe worthy. I have no clue why it is ranked so high, but i guess that there are a lot of fanboys from this 'genre' that rank it up.

This film is incredible Sono overall is kinda like Takashi Miike but he's able to make a 4hr film & hold your attention right till the end it's filled with dark comedy, twisted story lines & random characters with violence & sex it's so absurd all u can do is laugh, even in the most violent parts but it also has beauty, tenderness, tension, psychological, and many other facts which makes this brilliant film so profound If you haven't seen Miike's Ichi the Killer (2001) or Sono's Cold Fish (2010), then do that first before tackling this 4hr beast so you have some context of this fascinating masterpiece http://samuellbronko.tumblr.com/post/120084197997/love-exposure-2008- sion-sono-10-10-added-to
Love Exposure is one of the most entertaining Movies i have seen jet.You may think 237 Minutes is a long time but this Movie is not a single second to long , the Story is thrilling and the Charackters are fantastic. The idea is amazing and you wont see such a Movie ever again.The Story is about Yû a Son from a very strict Priest that wants him to have committed sins. But Yû actually searches for his own "Maria". The Music is extremely well chosen and so are the cuts.I don't want to say to much, this stunning Film should offer his own secrets.
