Guilty of Romance
Literature, sexual profligacy and pink paint make for strange bedfellows in the dark, wantonly risque Japanese crimer Guilty of Romance. (...) Kafkaesque storytelling, which intertwines the stories of three women grappling with sex for money and murder, is again inspired by fact, but the feverish imagery remains the director's own.
Boyd van Hoeij, Variety
At its core a story about the struggle for identity and personal power, that struggle gone badly wrong the more that sexual desire is introduced into the equation, Guilty of Romance fuses graphic violence with strong sexuality while assaulting the notion that women asserting power by being attractive to men is any sort of good thing. His three leads are very strong with each delivering performances that bare the soul as much as the flesh. And with so much flesh exposed, that's a lot of soul.
