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.
