"Adoration" shows the story of a Japanese young guy who's head over heels in love with a pretty young student. His love is so crazy that he decides to eat her.
I once heard somewhere this film was based on a true story. Very reassuring!
Olivier Smolders, a moviemaker from Liège, Belgium, made this black and white short film. I bought a videotape with everyone of his "spiritual exercises". I just LOVE this kind of bizarre short films! "Adoration" seems very strange in his form (totally soundless, except when the Japanese guy records his girlfriend's voice reading a novel's short passage). But you leave this film with a profound ambivalent feeling, wondering if you've attended to a wonderful love act or a piece of despair's darkness.
I recommend this one to short films aficionados and to weird, underground or gore movie fans.
Alas, "Adoration" is probably a bit difficult to find elsewhere than in Belgium.
