Shameless: Abnormal and Abusive Love

About This Movie

So, 'Shameless: Abnormal and Abusive Love' is a pretty stark and unsettling piece from Teruo Ishii.

The pacing is deliberate, almost measured, which makes the moments of tension hit harder. The performances, especially from the lead, are raw and haunting; you feel the torment in every scene.
