Hiroshi Nishitani’s Suspect X is uniquely positioned at the crossroads of mainstream popularity and the more artsy avant-garde, making it easy to recommend to serious Japanese cinema aficionados and more casual film buffs alike.

A work on the order of such masterpieces as Se7en (1995), Silence of the Lambs (1991) and Memories of Murder (2003), I Saw the Devil is likely the most complete revenge story you’ll ever see.

Love Exposure is epic in every sense of the word: it is at once a powerful meditation on religion, an allegorical commentary on sexuality in the modern world, a highly entertaining commercial production and an odyssey of sorts into Tokyo’s bizarre Akihabara subculture. While some may love it and others hate it, this film will leave no one indifferent.
