He brings provocation to anything he creates. Cold Fish. Guilty of Romance. This director makes movies that stir controversy and questions how things are. He's Sion Sono. While opinion of him in his own country, Japan, is polarized, Sono is an international maelstrom. His movies, charged with their extreme ying and yang duality go across the globe from Sitges to Brussels, Sundance, Cannes, Berlin and Venice. The documentary follows him and examines the art of being Sion Sono. Made during the making of The Whispering Star, which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and is touring the world with acclaim. This documentary shows rare moments where Sion Sono faces dilemmas and anxiety. This is Sion Sono exposed. The film is directed by Arata Oshima, a cutting-edge documentary filmmaker.
