Antiporno

mind blowin experience. visually stunning!

El Biffo

Clever, sexy, and really fun to look at with blasts of color, beautiful frames, costumes and sets conceived like a Japanese candy store of sexuality. I only wish that the ideas had been explored more and that the film had been much longer.

I'm not the intended audience. I keep wondering at what point people are going to realize that schoolgirl porn is fucked up. Will there be some moment when we look back at this and say, "That wasn't good"?

Sion Sono was commissioned to make this film for a production company trying to relaunch the genre known as 'roman porno'. The always playful Sono however gives us so much more. The misogynist opening suddenly gives way to the third wall breaking down only to be replaced by further layers of confusion, colour and mayhem. Visually stunning throughout but certainly not for all tastes.

W/ its eye-popping visual resplendency (it has a decadent pop-art look and odd staging that made me think of the late Seijun Suzuki of PISTOL OPERA etc.) and all-bets-are-off sense that it is not going to do anything you could possibly expect to expect it to, ANTIPORNO is not only a bemusedly subversive response to the invitation to re-think the Nikkatsu Roman Porno, it is also something other than a narrative film.

Some extremely rare objects have some distinct quality that makes me want to rate them even if I did not watch them to the end. In more than 1,200 this is probably the third. A horrendous, cruelly unnecessary use of images. The name is probably perfect. It's the most un-erotic thing I have seen, as if it was made to tease you in all the wrong places, into numbness and oblivion, until you hate yourself.

Desperate to churn out movies and win awards, Sion Sono is slowly turning into another Takashi Miike. The illusion of relevance will always be there in his work, but he won't ever get quite there.
