256. Tag (2015)


Country: Japan
Directed by Son Siono

Watching the film you often feel that it's a rather failed movie as it never touched it's ceiling and it's full potential, at the end though you gonna appreciate once more the bizzare, gore and poetic world of Son Siono, in this feminist, with a captivating B-movie style, allegory. Talking about the ideological part is quite interesting how he plays with the stereotypes and the ways of objectification of the women's bodies in the Japanese collective subconscious and the movie industry, forming an ironic destruction of his male view on them, an ironic negation of the exploitative nature of the film itself that depicts the patriarchical aesthetic and symbolic world to benefit from it, but in a contradiction, to fight against it as well!
