    Not as enjoyable or as accomplished as some of the director’s other efforts but worthy of a look if you’re a fan of Sono’s work and “non-conventional” cinema.

  • Karate Girl

    While there is an abundance of neatly choreographed action, there is a vast black hole where a proper plot and believable characters should be.

  • Love Exposure

    Apr 14, 2015

    A 4 hour, yes 4 hour, epic about love, religion and all manner of weirdness from one of Japan’s most out there directors, Sion Sono.

  • Quirky Guys And Gals

    May 16, 2015

    ‘Quirky Guys And Gals’ fulfils the obligations of its title: it’s quirky; there are guys and gals and even guys pretending to be gals.

  • Tamami: The Baby’s Curse

    It may not be as intensely gory as say ‘Machine Girl’ or ‘Tokyo Gore Police’ but it is still a delightfully mad slice of Japanese comic book horror.

  • The Magic Hour

    Nov 21, 2022

    ‘The Magic Hour’ is a fun comedy, though not the classic it promises to be. It still has an enormous amount to recommend it though and is a good starting point for those looking into Japanese comedy.

  • Tokyo Gore Police

    Jun 15, 2015

    It’s extreme, it’s sleazy, it’s as mad as a bag of snails (and even features a woman who is half snail!) but it is a lot of fun.
