You can tell this week was a Zack pick by the dark subject matter in Guilty of Romance (2011). This film by legendary director Sion Sono is based on a real crime that rocked Japan in the late ’90s. Sono spins this film off from the real event to look at the self-destructive urges of successful Japanese women, the misogyny of Japanese men, and the alluring darkness of Shibuya’s neon lights.
