Reviews & comments
Flicks, Daniel Rutledge
flicksThe latest cult director to make the move to Netflix is Sion Sono, the taboo-busting Japanese auteur behind NZ International Film Festival hits including Cold Fish and Love Exposure. The Forest of Love is packed with some of his favourite things—graphic suicide, intense cruelty, body disposal by way of thorough dismemberment, masturbation, schoolgirls in love with each other and so on. It also has the weird, punk kind of energy many of his movies have. But this is a fairly gruelling watch that may be too nasty and too long for its own good.
