Love Exposure
Movie • 2009 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
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.

Three of the main characters (Yu, Yoko and Koike) are victims of abuse, which causes them to act in very insaine, toxic and nearly sociopathic ways.

While one character is being beaten by her father, he kicks and steps on her bird's cage (with the animal inside). The bird is seem alive right before but when the violent turns to it you can notice that its a fake stiff bird. Still pretty sad.

Tho the two main characters are teenagers, one of them (Yu) sexualizes the other (Yoko). The film has this theme of the relation between love and sexual desire taken to the extreme, and so there's lots of sexualization from the perspective of a teenager.

All the audio-effects on this movie are pretty intense, and since there is a lot of violence when something nasty happens you can really hear it.

That's a big part of the movie. Mostly, the main villain was abused as a child and became kind of insane and sociopathic. She abuses, hurts and manipulates almost all the other characters.

The scenes where the characters are panicking or having mental breakdowns are insainly distressing, I seariously do not recomend watching this film if you struggle with anything like that.
