Guilty of Romance - Review: In fact 'Guilty of Romance' is heavy on the stomach because of characters who all seem rather lost and eventually drift into madness or are at least one step away from it, but...
"Guily of Romance" is the last part of Sion's "hate"-trilogy, counting among them are the predecessors "Love Exposure" and "Cold Fish". A connection between the movies is actually non-existent, solely the themes of love and hatred towards the world are shared by those films, yet it has to be noted that those themes are also put into the focus of the director's other works. Anyway, this time the isolation of a woman in a society that is dominated by men stands in the foreground. Freedom the female protagonists can win through sexual self-determination, which makes "Guily of Romance" an erotic drama that shows a lot of naked skin. None of the three women aren't to be seen fully naked at some point in the movie.
