Sion Sono is a Japanese film director, writer and poet known for provocative, experimental and often transgressive films.

Reviews here describe Sono's work as experimental, anti-narrative and subversive. The Forest Of Love received a Netflix release; Keiko Desu Kedo is presented as an anti-narrative, minimal work focusing on time. The Forest Of Love's story on DeBaser is noted to take up a real crime from Japan in the 1970s (as mentioned in the review).

Two DeBaser reviews emphasize Sion Sono's experimental, often brutal style. Keiko Desu Kedo is described as anti-narrative and meditative on time. The Forest Of Love is framed as a subversive, violent meditation with metacinematic touches and a Netflix release context.

For:Fans of challenging, experimental and transgressive cinema; cinephiles seeking provocative directors.

 There are heavy films, and then there's Keiko Desu Kedo by Sion Sono, which is like a bag of reinforced concrete thrown at you from three meters high in an attempt to kill you.

 Can an entire generation be described through a precise identification in the civilization of pain? Sono manages it in his own way, with the emphasis that distinguishes him and alternating pure madness with a directorial virtuosity of which he is the supreme master but not subject.
