The Profile

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.
