SION SONO, crazily prolific film director of ultraviolence (and other things)

the Cage Trilogy concludes

I didn't know about it until a few days ago

the last Sono film, The Forest Of Love iirc, was great btw

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

oh i didn’t know there was an ilx sono thread

i owned a copy of suicide club in hs and it was def the most fucked up movie i owned

i loved antiporno and need to see everything else he’s done

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

well, kinda:

So was the Herzog documentary bunk too?

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.
