If you loved Cold Fish, try Guilty of Romance

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Sion Sono, and they both carry the body horror mood tag, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cold Fish, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Guilty of Romance is

Tokyo dusk. A discarded Hello Kitty doll. Married Taeko quietly suffocates, until a lurid crime scene awakens her senses. Leaving polite society, she descends into an underworld of erotic performance, shadowed by a more experienced guide. Sono’s clinical tour is not for the faint of heart.
