(In this text, there might be some spoilers) Noriko, a girl of 17 years, feels an alien in his family and his country town. He decides to run away and join in a forum known to her friends, and during a blackout takes a suitcase, throws everything into it in bulk and run to catch the first train to Tokyo. After a while even his younger sister, Yuka, vanish and run away. The father, desperate to leave the job hysterical and started a search of his daughters that will take him on the trail of what he thinks is the infamous theatrical organization called the media "Suicide Club".
After seeing the beautiful 愛 の むきだし ( Ai no mukidashi - Love Exposure) Far East debut at 11, see a movie 园子 温 ( are Shion ) can transform an ordinary evening into an unmissable evening. Noriko's dinner table should be the result of its 自殺 サークル ( Jisatsu saakuru - Suicide Club) 2002, but differs with a script that tells of events temporally almost parallel to those of the first episode, but lived in different places and people, which at times come into contact with the events and characters in the film mentioned above.
do not remember much of Suicide Club, I saw many years ago and I see him to be able to write something, but I think anyone who has seen me as I can not forget his big scene, ie the collective suicide of more than fifty high school students under a train line Chūō in Shinjuku, Tokyo: applicant scene several times in this film.
Una sceneggiatura se pur parallela a quella del "primo episodio", indipendente ed autoconclusiva, sembra quasi che il regista abbia voluto sfruttare il successo di Suicide Club e sfruttarne la preesistente "piattaforma" per parlare di argomenti nuovi. Si può tranquillamente guardare questo film anche senza aver visto il precedente, addirittura lo si potrebbe utilizzare come prequel...
Il tema del suicidio è sempre comunque presente anche in questo film. La visione di Sono Sion sull'argomento é abbastanza critica pur nella sua tragica satiricitá: Noriko pur non avendo alcuna intenzione di suicidarsi finisce col prendere contatti with some of the members of a mysterious girl forum, considered by some coverage of the "suicide club" and socializing with them in a particular nickname Ueno Station 54, real name Kumiko, in turn, founder and head of a strange organization that provides its customers with humans for rent "for all purposes. You can never tell if in fact this organization is the Suicide Club, or its cover, or even if the script will force a review of the viewer that everything that happens in the film has no connection with the Suicide Club offers into question its very existence and degrading to mere obsession of a desperate father who, together with its subsidiaries is lost everything.
But the kids still continue to kill in groups and it seems that behind the scenes there is an accurate direction to move the threads of a macabre sequence of events. Apparently for many of the characters in this film suicide is a wonderful liberation from suffering, but some of them undergoing a different death, though still voluntary, and this is one of the things that left me stone: get killed deliberately by someone who wants to murder to vent anger on an adulterous wife, for example, to set out and interpreted by a person whose fate is to die, to offer a service and make his own death for a few more useful. Idiocy, idiocy result of a great mind of the poor women with no hope.
I believe I am the genius of Zion lies in making a metaphor for the madness of the collective hysteria which Japan is really sick, and carefully dismantle it piece by piece in this same folly with intelligent constructive criticism in key metaphor: after building a scenic picture that shows a definite reality, the organization that hires human beings for any purpose, that the hypothetical Suicide Club, breaks all using one of his cards apparently less influential on character Yuka's sister, Noriko, who with great cunning seeps into the fabric of mystery created by the disappearance of her elder sister and father as opposed to staying "sane" Deus Ex Machina apparatus becomes destructive of the author, ridiculing THAT 'Babel organization now bloody hatred for themselves and for life, gomorra perversions of ancestral cowardly disguise from the public utility service, a mirror of society, the Japanese, the author wishes to denounce as ever now empty of content and especially quell'autocontrollo that has always set, self-control has now become the silent autoviolenza many private individuals and many families.
Kumiko's organization becomes a parody of those thousands of people who help suicides in Japan to successfully achieve their goal: the single-issue forum, an accurate methodology developed by the voluntary death for poor people with perverted minds the only fault to be born in the wrong place, or do not have enough strength to endure the endless pain of living. Yuka is alive and vigilant in its apparent idiocy of girl of fifteen, seems dazed but is already a foot ahead of the sister who does nothing but self-pity to hide behind those thick glasses and unfashionable, behind the excuse that the evil of the whole world is because of his father.
Tetsuzo, he, the great man convinced that it is enough to take refuge with his family in the beautiful coastal town called Toyokawa seemingly perfect (which also is the birthplace of the director) to escape the evil and violence of the outside world, but soon realizes that the evil and the problems are generated mainly from ourselves that most of the time we create our own little personal hell mastery.
In a great metaphor for the film and then Tetsuzo know the hell is alone, he descends into the underworld and face the devil, kills his squires with unprecedented ferocity, and hopefully we can start all over again. But it sinks back to its roots in hell from which it can not be resurrected, and resignation as a shroud also covers all the others, except Yuka, who after his descent into the underworld has made sure both her sister his father in hell less painful for them, tore the roots from your feet and flew away like an angel of life, and his freedom will not let her alone, naked and scared as it was for Noriko, but makes it quite Light finally about to take its first flight.
Zion I has a unique style of shooting, the film is divided into chapters, each monograph of a character, but all time in a smooth chorus. The brilliance of this script, however, reach the perfection of unnecessary delays, if filed, and with some modifications in the final too slow: defects such as his latest work "Love Exposure" is free, even with his crazy period of four hours.
Japan, 2005 - directed by 园子 温 ( are Shion )
