I have only seen Love Exposure yet, and it's fucking amazing.

Exhibiting astonishing dexterity, Mr. Sono shapes all this trauma into a narrative that's completely coherent and surprisingly touching, never more so than in Yu's struggle toward sexual maturity.This four-hour opus about the fury of love and the love of fury is ritually fascinating, often excessive and, with a caution the film wields like a blade, achingly poignant.Would the film be easier to take in a more condensed form? Of course it would, but then it wouldn't be the singularly overwhelming oddity that it is.(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-HCVU07_0kTs%2FUZi_DoUddRI%2FAAAAAAAANzo%2FQtkpkTD4UJ4%2Fs1600%2Fvlcsnap-2013-05-18-22h52m30s146.png&hash=9eb180ac768245c19d5f641f65d726106ede9d78)

One of my all time favorite films, but likewise the only of his I've seen!
Going to check out Suicide Club next, I think.
I love this movie also. I've seen a handful of Sion Sono films and there's something amazing to glean from all of them. LOVE EXPOSURE really and truly bowled me over, though. The quickest 4-hour cinema experience of my life.

sion sono: hold my beer
Well, this is less than ideal.

Can't bode well when you have to consult with some "we" to sort out the facts. :yabbse-undecided:
