>The 60-year-old most recently directed 2021's Prisoners Of The Ghostland starring Nicolas Cage. He’s known for his work on Love Exposure, Suicide Club, and the miniseries Tokyo Vampire Hotel.
>Two women have come forward with sexual assault allegations against the director. Sono has also been accused of trading sex for roles throughout his career.
>Actor Matsuzaki Yuki tweeted about the allegations last Sunday, stating that offering roles for sex and other forms of sexual harassment was “Sono[’s] usual MO—There are dozens of victims,” per Variety.
can an american explain me what the fuck is sexual misconduct? I know is not the same as assault or harass
Carter Roberts
doesn't surprise me, guy's a mega coomer
Gavin Diaz
>victims All they had to say was no
Zachary Peterson
He casting couched some girls and when one of them said "no" he called the other girl into the room and fucked her right there in front of her to rub it in her face.
Jayden Fisher
Oh yeah I've seen Suicide Club
Zachary Foster
So far every accusation has been from an "anonymous source" because they know they'll either get sued for slander or have to admit that they conensually fucked their way to the top. Let me know when Ami Tomite or someone accuses him of rape.
Hudson Edwards
Is he still married to the big titty chick from Coldfish? Unironically one of the hottest japs I've ever seen
Alexander Butler
Yeah, they had a kid together a year or two back.
Mason Reed
> Unironically one of the hottest japs I've ever seen Lol are you serious?
Jackson Martinez
that sounds fucking based on my book
Owen Hughes
Fucker hasn't done anything of note who cares
Mason Barnes
I don't care about women, I hope it was real, traumatic, and this guy is found not guilt anyway
Noah Smith
>works on an american flick >gets #metoo'd right after
You'd be surprised how many japs do this. Kojima is a big proponent of selling roles for sex.
Caleb Wilson
I bet your mother must be proud of you and your great character
Carson Thomas
This. Actress only spoke out because Sono is kinda famous in the west she just knew that western media would jump onto it. If an actress was to accuse Yoji Yamada or something, she would get crucified by everyone and would end up killing herself
Adrian Morales
>, stating that offering roles for sex and other forms of sexual harassment was “Sono[’s] usual MO >offering roles for sex I dont get this, can't you just hire an escort? I get its a power thing, and its a preverse trip to fuck someone who doesn't really want to but is still bending over anyways, but still. why not just pick the best actress for the job?
William Perry
He's a method director
Eli Lopez
how is this any different from one of the coen brothers casting his wife francis mcdormand in his movies? are people retarded enough to think she married him because of his looks and huge dick?
Jace Williams
Weebsisters.... I thought Japan killed the sjws on site wtf is going on...???
Juan Davis
The guy who started the crusade against him is a Jap who lives in LA doing bit parts as the token Asian in Hollywood stuff while complaining about the lack of diversity in the Japanese film industry.
Samuel Cox
I bet you're a cuck who cares what your mother and women think
Colton Sullivan
You sure sound like a functioning individual with a great life
>See the news >Decide to give Love Exposure a try finally due to funny webms I saw years ago >2 hours into the marathon >Confused how the film is gonna wrap up with so little time >Check the time remaining >Mind shattered that the director decided to make this movie over 3 hours long I swear for the rest of my life I will never trust another weeb again. This shit was so overrated. Could have easily been 2 hours long and have lost basically nothing. The film is only marginally funny and doesn't have anything else going for it other than a style that gets old an hour in. Wtf is the hype around this movie?
Justin Cook
Its when women have consensual sex but then regret it but are unable to lie and say it was rape.
Basically "he didnt do anything technically wrong, but it made me feel bad"
Jordan Lewis
is the tranny letterboxd brigade that jerked him off turning on him now?
Sebastian Foster
SSS-tier booba in her prime
David Price
Yknow I didn’t much care for prisoners of ghost land, but now I’m glad I spent money on the Blu ray, knowing this man got money
Jackson Williams
I wonder if the Red Post on Escher Street and Suicide Club restoration Blu-rays are still being released.
Joshua Murphy
sounds like someone who shames Asian women for fucking white guys
Austin Russell
i wonder when they're coming after takishi miike. he makes nothing but shit lately anyway, so it would be no big loss.
Gavin Martin
As much as I dislike Miike's films, I get the impression that he's much less of a weirdo in real life than Sono is. I don't think there's much dirt on him to cancel him over.
Luis Perry
I don't see the issue with doing casting couch shit. He sounds based.
Jackson Parker
And you sound like a faggot cuck
Wyatt Bell
How is sex for favors even illegal? They aren't forced into it I don't get it. It's like saying I was raped cause the guy was rich and I couldn't resist his high status and money when he told me about it
>hey I could get you in a movie do you want to have sex? >hey I'm rich as fuck do you want to have sex?
What's the difference?
Connor Howard
i've decided to start supporting sono now by actually buying his films instead of just pirating them. we should all back based behavior like treating women like the whores they are.
Nolan Perry
Literally don't fucking care. Most normies wont either after a day or two.
Brody Carter
Japan is a culture build around shame
Charles Cooper
>Suicide Club restoration but the 480p dvd quality fits the movie so well
Sebastian Moore
Why are you spamming this shit, take your meds or something.
Nolan Baker
No different than doing favors for a role. It a an interpersonal relationship that people want to maximize for roles. If sex is on the table and you take that opportunity it’s all on you.
Owen Anderson
This will not affect him at all in Japan, they don't care about this shit.
Adrian Thomas
If this ends up with Red Post on Escher Street's sequel being cancelled I'll be so fucking mad. I hope his producers don't mind and he just keeps getting shit done.
Noah Moore
The acting workshop that was supposed to serve as the basis of the sequel was shut down as soon as the accusations started coming in.
Dominic Peterson
>. Sono has also been accused of trading sex for roles throughout his career.
the love exposure main girl looking so dejected, disconnected ... maybe it was not just acting. or the forced sexing shaped up her performance just right, in a very twisted way
Bentley Walker
Didn't Megan fox wash Micheal Bays car in a bikini to get the transformer role?
Connor Cruz
She had already worked with him on Exte and immediately worked with him again on his Avril Lavigne movie right after Love Exposure.
Justin Murphy
this is bad exposure
Juan Morgan
This.
Cold Fish was rad.
Angel Johnson
"Misconduct" this vague word has really come to be used quite a bit these days. Assault I can understand, "misconduct" sounds like a weasel word for "I agreed to engage in sexual activity for favors, but now will use it as an opportunity for notoriety."
he directed love exposure? jesus this guy is based
and he molested every actress? hmmmmmm
even more based
Camden Foster
u are retarded good sir
Kevin Reyes
fake news, don't believe women or Asians so particularly don't believe Asian women
Easton Wilson
its one of those things where you have to be in the right mood it was on my hard drive for maybe 6 months before i got around to watch it in full, i tried maybe 3 or 4 times to get into it but it was not working. then it all lined up somehow one matinee when i shatpost all nite long with the boyzzz online caught a few zz and was in the mood to watch something when i woke up. the marathonning is part of the process , the way i see it: its full of tropes and japanese stiffness associated with narration etc but the physicality of going tru it show glimpses of an auteur behind all those cultural cagey conventions.
William Sanchez
Because I have a unique ability to separate the art from the artist, I will continue not giving a fuck and enjoying his movies Check out Guilty Of Romance, that had loads of hot sex scenes
