If you loved Red Post on Escher Street, try Strange Circus

What they share

Both films are directed by Sion Sono, and they both carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Red Post on Escher Street, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Strange Circus is

Tokyo, humid summer. A ringing telephone. Taeko spins a lurid yarn of familial collapse while her watchful assistant seeks its real-world origin, each clue a step deeper into the inferno. Sono’s garish melodrama flirts with taboo.
