The first part of the story where the high school students go to school is the most fun and interesting, until a fatal outcome occurs at the end.
Directed with a very special care, this film reminds of its most round and successful films. As filming progresses, lies stop being separate from the truth and the limits of humanity are put to the test, resulting in acts as shocking as disgusting.Īfter a slight losing streak with films like “Tag”, “Shinjuku Swan” or “The Virgin Psychics” among others, it is appreciated that Sion Sono returns to its most depraved and sickly origins that made him a reknown storyteller. When Murata meets Shin (one of the kids who wants to shoot a movie played by Shinnosuke Mitsushima), he decides that Murata and his turbulent relationship with Mitsuko would be the perfect theme for his film. In turn, they will also meet Jo Murata (Kippei Shîna), a ruthless man who uses his charisma to manipulate people.
Mitsuko and Taeko will make contact years later, and they will meet a group of young boys who want to make a movie. They both lived a traumatic experience while they went to high school with 2 more friends. On the one hand we have Mitsuko (Eri Kamataki) and Taeko (Kyoko Hinami), two friends who have known each other since high school. The film is undoubtedly a crazy and frantic journey of violence that will lead all the characters to the most absolute dementia, and it is totally worth it.
Those who are assiduous Sion Sono’s fans will appreciate here many of his hallmarks and style, because “Forest of Love” is a kind of “Greatest Hits” by Sion Sono, as if “Noriko’s Dinner Table”, “Cold Fish” and “Why Don’t You Play in Hell ” were put together on a cocktail shaker and this was the result. His new movie is titled “The Forest of Love,” and it has no loss. One of the most extravagant Japanese directors is back: Sion Sono, and this time with a product produced by Netflix.
