FiC Rating 5/5

Why FiC Recommends?
1) Guilty of Romance is the embodiment of subversive filmmaking, a neon-lit madness rummaging through the rain swept alleyways of Tokyo unearthing the bestiality and masochism underneath.
2) Started as a hyper-stylized lurid and sickening murder mystery surrounding two severed female corpses, Sono’s endeavour rises above the cause of storytelling and traps you inside it’s inescapable transgressive maze.
3) Sono’s nightmarish rendition of female sexuality is crafted from the same fabric of the patriarchal social order in Japan and Guilty of Romance reflects his disgust and anguish over the cruel reality.
