Ai no Mukidashi (Love exposure) (Page 2)

The nearly four hour visually stunning epic AI NO MUKIDASHI provocatively relates the tale of Yu, an adolescent, whose life is thrown into complete turmoil upon the death of his saint-like mother. His father's response to his wife's passing is to devote himself increasingly to an extreme Catholic fervour, consequently applying enormous pressure on Yu. Desperate to find some sort of sins he can confess to his father, he delves into a bizarre underground group whose goal is to secretly photograph unsuspecting girls' panties. Here he encounters his most adored Maria, yet later unveiled she turns out to be a man-hating provocateur...
Crossing paths with other lost souls and cult groups, Yu also finds love in the most unexpected places and convoluted ways. Sono Sions's fast-paced, outrageously irreverent saga is dizzyingly inventive and hugely entertaining. His film Strange Circus screened in the Forum in 2006.
