Featured review
Beautiful and deeply disturbing.
"Adoration" is loosely based on Issei Sagawa's cannibalistic murder case.In 1981 he murdered and cannibalized a Dutch woman named Renée Hartevelt.After his release Sagawa has become a minor celebrity in Japan and has made a living through the public interest on his crime.A young Japanese man invites beautiful French student to his apartment.She reads some poetry.Suddenly he shoots her in the back,dismembers her body and cannibalizes her tasty flesh.Experimental and gruesome short which looks almost like a true crime documentary.The use of silence and master shots certainly enhances truly chilling atmosphere of gloom.Can't wait to see Oliver Smolders "Nuit Noire".8 out of 10.
