New favorite movie of all time unlocked!

Love exposure is a 4 hours pure bonkers movie that succeed in blending genre of drama, comedy, action and romance. Filled with excessive & unorthodox stuff, this is arguably the coolest movie I've ever seen! Like holy shit every scenes & every shots in here are so cool it kept me captivated everytime! There's so many things going on here such as religion, parental relationship, perversion, kungfu, violence and so much more, but it all executed perfectly & packed with a very entertaining and also thrilling experience that will not make us feel bored the entire time

The opening scene is outstanding as we get to introduce to Yu honda, a young teenage catholic who lost his mother earlier in the film. And his father, Tetsu, has finally become a devout catholic priest since the death of the mother. He met a strange woman named kaori who was obsessed with him & finally they fell in love and get married. And that leads Yu to his downfall. Then he finally finds his passion in taking photograph of girls panties in public. And then we get to introduce the side characters such as Koike & yoko with a very unique presentations of the background of their early lives. And as the plot goes on, it culminating into a very intense & also insane melodramatic moments that kept me intrigued. And the ending scene is absolutely the best part because we get to see the emotional yet satisfying part of the movie which i can't even spoil you

Sion sono direction is very ambitious, audacious & also creative in making a very absurd & compelling screenplay. Talking about the screenplay, i do think it's one of the best screenplay ever made! Fight me but just watch the whole movie if you want prove! The humor was dark but it still able to make me laugh out loud everytime. The characters are unique & compelling i even feel deeply invested with them. The characters development as well are well developed. Kaiko is probably the best villain I've ever seen in a movie! The cinematography, the costume, the pacing, the performance, the soundtrack, the production design & the choreography are all top notch!

Overall, love exposure is not only one of the best drama movie I've seen, not only one of the best action movie I've seen, not only one of the best romance movie I've seen, and not only one of the best comedy movie I've seen, but as a whole is one of the best movie I've ever seen! Watching this is such a wild cinema experience for me & I have zero hesitation in putting this at my top 10 in my favorite oat list and i can't recommend you enough to watch this. The long runtime might pull you off from watching it but when you finally see it i promise it'll payoff big time!

Ranking my favorite movies of all time • Ranking country: 🇯🇵 • Favorite genre: weird shit
