Ah balls. I didnt realize the Crucified Lovers was a movie I've seen and loved because I always have just associated the film as Chikamatsu monogatari. Now it is eliminated thanks to me not voting there  :(

On TSPDT, they actually have it as Chikamatsu Monogatari, but I put it here as The Crucified Lovers because that's how I've always known it!
