THE LOVE HOTEL
With unprecedented access into one of the most private and anonymous spaces in Japanese society, THE LOVE HOTEL focuses on the Angel Love Hotel in Osaka, a short stay hotel where customers of all ages and backgrounds visit for uninterrupted intimacy, and where the hotel management struggle against an increasingly conservative government. Under the veneer of a pink movie, this extremely subtle documentary – from a cross-section of the modern Japanese society – provides a powerful perspective on love, sex and intimacy in the lucrative underground business and poses a tantalizing question: Where can we find love, and how can we make it last?
