Noriko's Dinner Table

There is something so hypnotizing about this film. Even though it’s nearly 3 hours it really flies by. Sion Sono is the only director that I can say for each of his films that “I’ve never seen anything like it” and this is no exception. Even though it’s a prequel to Suicide Club it has its own unique identity and focuses on its own story. It explores the themes of connection, identity, and loneliness in really a complex and unique way. I really vibe with Sion Sono’s style of storytelling and this might be his most philosophical work I’ve seen yet. There are layers to this film, man.
