[fuente] Yu es un adolescente que se ha criado en el seno de una familia muy cristiana. Recién ordenado sacerdote, su padre le obliga a confesar sus pecados, que él comete buscando la aprobación paterna. Yu se dedica diligentemente a obrar mal, hasta que sus fotos a hurtadillas de bragas de chicas lo catapultan a la fama. Pero entonces conoce a Yoko y se ve envuelto en una misteriosa secta.

Manu Argüelles, en "El camino del exceso", en El Espectador imaginario, en abril de 2010, escribió:Enfrentarse a "Love exposure" es tratar de navegar por un caudal rebosante de agua. Y sin duda alguna, uno de sus afluentes principales Love exposure es el exceso. Ya desde su hiperbolizado metraje de 237 minutos para una película que se dirige a un público joven, se nos presenta un largometraje-cóctel, que combina sin pudor alguno y con un sentido del humor muy desvergonzado, elementos como: fetichismo, religión, sexo, acción, humor, melodrama, gore, amor, etc. [...]

Gerard A. Cassadó, en "‘Love Exposure’, de Sion Sono (2008)", en Fotogramas, escribió:Existen pocos directores en el mundo actualmente que respondan mejor al adjetivo de “loco depravado” que el japonés Sion Sono. Arcángel del exceso en todas sus manifestaciones, películas como "Cold Fish" (2010) o "Guilty of Romance" (2011) son buena muestra de un imaginario profundamente enfermo y asocial que dispara sin piedad contra todas las instituciones que rigen el mundo: el matrimonio, la familia, las relaciones sociales… En ‘Love Exposure’, su obra magna, atenta en principio, y sólo en apariencia, contra la religión. Pues en realidad todo consiste, como siempre, en presentarnos un prolongado descenso a los infiernos (en este caso, la película dura más de 4 horas) que desemboca en un brutal y autodestructivo estallido final de violencia.

En Cinematk se escribió:Yu es un adolescente que se ha criado en el seno de una familia cristiana de Japón. Vive con su padre, quien tras quedarse viudo, se ha ordenado sacerdote. Yu se debate entre la imagen idílica del cristianismo que profesaba su madre y entre actuar de manera incorrecta para conseguir la aprobación del padre, obsesionado por absolver todos sus pecados. Uno de los "pecados" de Yu es su obsesión por fotografiar las entrepiernas de las chicas que van con minifalda. Cuando Yu conoce a la extraña Koike, una chica atormentada por traumas familiares, todo dará un nuevo giro, haciendo que Yu se sienta cada vez más confundido.

En SensaCine se escribió:"Love Exposure" cuenta la historia de Yu (Takahiro Nishijima), un adolescente que se ha criado en el seno de una familia cristiana de Japón. Su padre, que acaba de ordenarse como sacerdote tras la muerte de la madre de Yu, vive obsesionado con que su hijo le confiese sus pecados. Pero Yu vive metido en un mal ambiente y no lleva una buena vida. Se dedica a robar, a meterse en peleas y sobre todo, a hacer fotografías bajo la falda de las chicas.

Un día Yu hace una apuesta con sus amigos. Consiste en vestirse de mujer (Sasori) y besar a la chica que le gusta. Es aquí cuando el protagonista conoce a la joven Yoko (Hikari Mitsushima), una chica que vive atormentada por traumas familiares y ahora todo cambia en su vida. Yu se enamora de ella y se convierte en su principal objetivo. Será aquí cuando la trama se torne y veremos cómo Yu deberá enfrentarse a un amor no correspondido y luchar contra los elementos que lo obstaculizan. Por otro lado Koike (Itsuji Itao) es una chica que pertenece al grupo de culto 'Iglesia Cero'. Ella vive encaprichada y obsesionada con Yu e intenta elaborar un plan para atraer a toda su familia en la 'Iglesia Cero' y además, tiene la intención de ganarse el favor de Yoko.

AMG SYNOPSIS: One young man's journey to find the girl of his dreams and please his father takes an unfathomable number of wrong turns and bizarre detours in this epic-scale comedy drama from writer and director Sion Sono. Yu Tsunoda (Takahiro Nishijima) grew up believing in his mother's admonition to find and marry a girl who was pure of heart when he grew up, and after her death, Yu's father (Atsuro Watabe) became a Catholic priest who's very interested in the state of Yu's purity. Father is convinced Yu is guilty of more sins than he's willing to confess; that isn't actually the case, but in order to please his dad, Yu sets out to rack up a more impressive record of wrongdoing. Yu becomes a small-time pornographer, trafficking in photos surreptitiously taken by pointing his camera up the skirts of young women, and his work is impressive enough that he's approached by an adult film company to star in a string of porn films for them. But just as Yu is getting involved in some serious sin, he meets Yoko (Hikari Mitsushima), a beautiful and virginal teenage girl who is appalled by the behavior of most men -- so much so that she constantly challenges them to martial arts battles, which she invariably wins. Yu sets out to win Yoko's heart, but their courtship attracts the attention of Aya Koike (Sakura Ando), a member of a religious cult who thinks she can recruit them to their numbers. Ai No Mukidashi (aka Love Exposure) was an official selection at the 2009 New York Asian Film Festival. -- Mark Deming

AMG REVIEW: There are weird movies, there are really weird movies, and then there's Love Exposure, a four-hour epic about Catholic guilt, strange sex, cross-dressing, religious mania, the art of perverted photography, and above all else, the unpredictable nature of love. It drags at times, it looks a little on the cheap side (this is an indie movie from Japan, after all) and the ending fails to wrap up the proceeding 237 minutes in a thematically coherent fashion, but for lovers of arthouse cinema, this is the kind of must-see film that will invade your dreams for weeks afterwards.The film's plot requires a lot of setup: so much so, in fact, that the movie's opening credits don't appear until about an hour into the running time. Yu Tsunoda (Takahiro Nishijima) is a Japanese teenager from a Christian family dealing with the sudden death of his mother, whose last words to him were instructions to marry a woman who reminds him of the Virgin Mary. Meanwhile, Yu's father (Atsuro Watabe) decides to bury his grief over his wife's death by becoming a Catholic priest, resulting in him being more and more militant about insisting that Yu confess his sins in church. The only problem is that Yu doesn't have any sins -- he's as mild-mannered and innocuous as they come, but his father insists that he must be doing something wrong, so Yu decides to make his father happy by joining a group of local troublemakers who spend their days taking upskirt photos of unsuspecting women (in one of the film's many eccentric touches, this pastime is imagined as a sort of martial art involving acrobatic maneuvers to take the photos without getting caught).The first act of Love Exposure chronicles Yu's misadventures as the world's most wholesome pervert, and it only gets stranger from there, as both Yu and his father embark on unlikely love affairs -- Yu falls for a fiery, man-hating feminist named Yoko (Hikari Mitsushima), whom he meets while dressed as a woman on a dare from his friends, while his father strikes up a relationship with an emotionally unstable parishioner (Makiko Watanabe) who turns out to be Yoko's stepmother. Pretty soon all of them are living under one roof, and then Yu and his father are targeted by a sinister cult looking to convert them in order to improve their credibility and then...Suffice it to say, this review would end up being three times as long if it had to provide a complete synopsis. And regardless, the brilliance of Love Exposure isn't found in the fact that the plot makes sense in the end (it doesn't), but in the way it ricochets from one scene to the next, constantly bursting with new ideas and refusing to settle on just one emotional tone. A scene in a restaurant in which Yu tries to win over Yoko by switching back and forth between himself and his cross-dressing female alter ego "Miss Scorpion" feels like something out of a million corny sitcoms, while a flashback in which a cult leader (Sakura Ando) gets revenge on her abusive father may turn the stomach of even the most desensitized connoisseur of ultraviolence. Yu's life as a pornographer is played for laughs, but Love Exposure's views on love and religion are treated seriously, as the film views both as potentially uplifting but easily corrupted. In particular, Yoko's devout Christian faith is contrasted with the spiritual emptiness of the film's adults, who jump from one religion to the next hoping to find satisfaction, but ultimately end up in a deprogramming group (which is depicted as just one more creed for them to obsess over). Profane and spiritual, disturbing and warmhearted, perverted and romantic, Love Exposure is a fascinating gem from the outer edges of extreme Asian cinema. -- Jack Rodgers
