    Extreme Private Eros: Love Song 1974

    ★★★★½

    Extreme Private Eros: Love Song 1974 by Kazuo Hara is an autobiographical documentary film that is both raw and bold. The film follows Miyuki Takeda, the director’s ex-partner, after their separation. What makes it so powerful is the complete absence of staging: here, no one plays a role—everyone lives and reveals their reality with simple sincerity.

    For several years, Hara filmed key moments in Takeda’s life, an independent woman who rejects conventions and explores her freedom through love and motherhood. Yet, despite being the director, he remains invisible on screen. His presence is felt only through his voice and narration, like a discreet yet involved witness.

    Eureka est un véritable chef-d’œuvre !

    Le cinéma a tant de choses à offrir, il faut mettre en valeur ce genre de film qui n'est pas assez reconnu.

    C’est l’histoire de trois personnes qui essaient de tourner la page, deux ans après un massacre, en suivant les conséquences des traumatismes causés par cet événement. Les thèmes abordés étaient vraiment intéressants. Le côté thriller m’a beaucoup plu, et le visuel du film était magnifique, avec des couleurs qui collent parfaitement au…
