    The Woman Who Keeps a Murderer

    Original Title: Satsujinki o kau onna Released as "Split Desires - Dunkle Triebe" in Germany.

    Kyoko has issues. She suffers from a multiple personality disorder. And her other selves have vastly different ideas on how to cope with her current situation. Director Hideo Nakata is no stranger to psychological horror (The Ring) and erotic fantasies (White Lily) and does a spectacular job with this movie. Whilst the movie starts off a little coarse, it eventually finds its path. And there are some over-the-top cringe performances, for example, Kyoko's mother or her lover, but Rin Asuka grounds everything well as the rather introverted Kyoko.

    The horror is very light and is mostly outweighed by the frequent erotic scenes, however Split Desires still manages to convey a slight depth to the narrative. The climax (and I mean that very literally) is something that really needs to be seen to be believed. If you're into erotic movies with a dark twist, Hideo Nakata's 2019 Split Desires comes highly recommended.

    Please(d with) yourself

    No pun intended - also take no prisoners. Well sort of, right? And remember: apart from having to suspend your disbelief and go with the flow (not the wet one, though I understand if that is the one you want to go for), you also cannot be sensible or sensitive ... to nudity and all that involves when it comes to a woman having urges and ... going for them (coming for them? Well you decide).

    It seems that most of the characters are a glutton for punishment ... or are simply unable to free themselves from our main character(s) - you'll understand if you are up for it - not that kind of up ... although again: not judging if that is how you ... "feel". Quite a few scenes are made to make you feel uncomfortable ... interesting and some of the ideas are really nice - not that kind of nice either ...
