Suicide Circle - 2001 - 6/10
AKA - Jisatsu Sâkuru // 自殺サークル

Schoolgirls hurl themselves in front of an express train.
Nurses leap out windows. Adults mutilate themselves.
Across Japan, the casualty count explodes, along with the popularity of the J-group, Dessert.
Not much is explained, although sensitive viewers can detect major themes.
Quiet points about disassociation and isolation echo throughout.
Early Sion Sono made a splash and caught the attention of Asia cinema fans.
As with many of Sono’s earlier works, the acting here is less bombastic.
