Sion Sono (園 子温, Sono Shion, born December 20, 1961) is a Japanese filmmaker and poet.

Career

At the end of 2005, Sion Sono premiered a personal project with actors Issei Ishida and Masumi Miyazaki. Strange Circus, directed, written, composed and cinematographed by Sono, took elements from the Grand Guignol theater and a story from the minds of both Masumi and Sono, filled with incest, sexual abuse, terrible family issues, extreme gore, and a twisted sense of reality.[1]

In 2008, he was the director and writer of Love Exposure. Love Exposure is the first film in Sono's "Hate" trilogy; the films Cold Fish, released in 2010, and Guilty of Romance, released in 2011, also directed by Sono, are the second and third installments of the trilogy respectively.[2]
