Suicide Club’s maverick cult director Sion Sono returns with a disturbing, visually electrifying shocker about a sexually abused young woman and her hallucinatory reality. This surreal shockfest just gets more disturbing as it progresses…even before the amputations, bondage, imprisonment, and secret transexuality! Teenage Mitsuko is forced to watch her parents’ lovemaking through the peephole of a cello case. Soon she is involved in her father’s wicked sex acts, the death of her mother and suicide attempts…yet all of this is apparently a novel being penned by reclusive, wheelchair-bound author Taeko. Or is it?
