Guilty οf Romance

When a brutally murdered female body is discovered in the infamous pink hotel district, the police are trying hard to find out what happened. We will find out by following Izumi’s story: she’s married to a wealthy writer of romantic fiction, but he seems to channel all his erotic desire into writing, leaving his young and naïve wife unsatisfied. One day, she decides to act on her urges by starring in a porn film and having sex with strangers. Sion Sono returns after “Love Exposure” and “Cold Fish” with the last part of his “Hate” trilogy, a transcendent thriller steeped in the salacious world of his weird mind. Sex, violence, naked bodies and gorgeous shots reminiscent of erotic manga, in a film brimming with eroticism and winks pleasurably at the in-the-know followers of the Japanese auteur of dark beauty.
