Woman Like a Cicada: Addicted to Love is a poignant exploration of love's complexities, steeped in the melancholic tones typical of Morioka's style. The narrative, centering on a reunification between a prostitute and her first love, unfolds with a delicate pacing that mirrors the emotional ebb and flow of the characters' lives. The film thrives on its raw performances, bringing authenticity to the often overlooked struggles of its protagonist. The atmosphere is laden with a sense of longing and regret, enhanced by practical effects that ground the fantastical elements of love in reality. It’s a thoughtful piece that reflects on the nature of desire and the scars it leaves behind, making it distinct within the Love & Eros collection.
