THE SUICIDE CLUB (M18)
5"Sore de wa mina-san, sayōnara." ("Well then, goodbye everybody.")
THE SUICIDE CLUB, Sion Sono's notorious essay on unexplained (teen) suicides in Japan, spurred a wave of controversy in its country for the grim premise and gory presentation as an 'art form'. Despite a fiction, the rudiments are realistic and disturbing - and the finger of blame points to subterranean music with encoded/subliminal messages of death.
In Singapore, we have had recent cases where 'victims' jumped MRT tracks at stations to be crushed by approaching trains (see movie scene above). Some lived, others didn't. What could be the cause of these suicide attempts? Remember: Always read deeper into the story.
