If you loved The Whispering Star, try Noriko's Dinner Table
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 sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Whispering Star, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Noriko's Dinner Table is
Tokyo, summer. A dropped cell phone. Noriko flees her stifling home for a mysterious online community, soon adopting a new identity within its ranks. The group's fragile bonds strain after a string of increasingly disturbing events. Sion Sono's early work hits hard.
