Anticipation.

A new ‘roman porno’ movie from Japanese mad man Sono Sion.

Enjoyment.

Heavy going, but rich with ingenuity. And there’s intellectual death beyond the screaming.

In Retrospect.

Not one of the director’s finest, but amazing in its own unique, erotic and alienating way.

Sono Sion decon­structs pow­er rela­tion­ships on a porn movie set in this colour­ful, cacoph­o­nous miniature.

Antiporno screens at ICA Lon­don from Fri­day 24 Novem­ber, released by MUBI.
