Tag is really good, though. And not actually a high school movie at all.

Just finished watching all five of the 2015 Sonos. They run the gamut, from the almost great Tag to the unbearable Love and Peace. To celebrate my accomplishment, I think I’ll drop my Sono top ten here:
1 Love Exposure2 Strange Circus3 Himizu4 Guilty of Romance5 Tag6 Tokyo Tribe7 Into a Dream8 Hazard9 Suicide Club10 The Whispering Star

That was a tv show that got edited into a movie too? I just seen a trailer with a really silly english dub, I had no idea people still did dubs of this kind of film

Cold Fish is more fucked up than Suicide Club but he's made so many I haven't seen.

since it's one of the best movies ever, noriko's dinner table is def my top pick. so funny and sad and raw and intense.

It's funny because back then I thought that hired family stuff was just Sono's brilliant dystopian vision but it's real

So was the Herzog documentary bunk too?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 19:43 (two years ago) link
haven't seen it so I have wondered about that. I would like to think that herzog's BS radar is pretty strong. wonder if he's ever commented on it?
seems safe to say that it isn't nearly as widespread a phenomenon as a lot of people in the US, etc. think tho.
