7/10
Erotic thriller to the end
25 December 2023
Love Obsession is also known as: Beauty Reporter: Rape Broadcast.

This focuses on a reporter with her own news program who with dwindling ratings would do anything to keep her show on the air. It's as relevant today in 2023 as it was in 1989 tho could see this done now with a social media influencer instead of a news reporter. The ending was a bit of a surprise just when you thought you figured it out.

It's a pink film so has it's prerequisite sex scenes, most are fairly erotic if that is what you seek. One I felt uncomfortable watching but that's more me. The sex scenes don't get in the way of the story. They often are a part of the story.

Director Hisayasu Satõ & his editor made every scene seamless.

The two female lead actresses did an excellent job. Maya Shiraki showed she had range as an actress.

I rated this a 7/10. Unfortunately, the low budget showed which took away from the enjoyment of watching. The male lead was alright but didn't show much emotion.

Still, for a pink film it was excellent. Well worth a watch.
