Ai-naki mori de sakebe (2019)

Ai-naki mori de sakebe: Directed by Sion Sono. With Kippei Shîna, Shinnosuke Mitsushima, Kyoko Hinami, Eri Kamataki. A small group of student filmmakers and a shy young girl with strict parents are simultaneously manipulated, seduced and abused by an older man. They follow his bidding, even when murder is involved.

“Sion Sono is a special director. He does things his way and his movies are quite weird mostly to say the least. So the first review (if you can call three sentences a review) I read here did not surprise me. And I donu0026#39;t even mean the low score (1/10), but the argument that was made that there are too many characters and you could not concentrate on one individual (hero?).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMaybe that can work as a warning. Either that other u0026quot;reviewu0026quot; or me mentioning it. Whatever the case, if you go in this, be prepared to see a meta take on the very infamous forest (this is not the first movie about it and surely wonu0026#39;t be the last). There are many things going on and some may feel supernatural (this is what the forest is famously know for after all) … but what is the mystery and what will it all lead to?”
