Synopsis

Young Yu (Nishijima Takahiro) grew up in the heart of a Catholic family. He lives with his father, who, after having widowed, has become a priest, but has to fight the temptations of the earthly world. Yu starts developing a secret hobby: to wander the city in search of pretty girls, and stealing pictures of their crotches. In the midst of such a low-angle-shot fest, he meets Yoko (Mitsushima Hikari), a karate expert who dazzles him… but is the daughter of a very close friend of his father. Suddenly, a strange religious cult interferes with their lives, drifting Yu apart from his loved ones…. And this is just the beginning of the new whim by the director of Suicide Club, a magnum opus that is… four hours long! And it jumps from one genre to another in a bulimic, demolishing ecstasy. Heresy, gallons of blood, lesbianism, samurai swords… What more could you ask for? Oh, yeah: Sono says that “the most important thing is love.”
