The latest addition to Third Window Films directors company series, Love Hotel, opens in a neon-lit room at a salacious hotel, where Tetsuro Muraki (Minori Terada) lays on the bed as he waits for somebody to arrive. What may seem like a casual hook-up is instead a moment of despair, culminating from Tetsuro’s business going bankrupt, and the yakuza collecting his mounting debt by sexually assaulting his wife. The guilt-ridden Tetsuro intends to commit suicide when the night is over, and it will all begin with the arrival of part-time sex worker Nami (Noriko Hayami).
My review of Love Hotel is now available to read at The Geek Show.
