If you loved The Forest of Love, try The Room
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Room has roughly 8.9× fewer votes than The Forest of Love — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 sit in Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Forest of Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Room is
Tokyo, late autumn, the sound of cicadas. A vacant apartment becomes a crossroads. Strangers connect through violence and urban anomie. Early Sono offers a grim premonition.
