“This book is in French, and that's why I agree to give myself up. As for a Japanese version, it would suit me if you waited at least ten years. There are still taboos here that don't make sense outside of Japan. »
After years of looking for a way out of a Japan that has become unbearable for him, Sono Sion now finds himself at the gates of Hollywood. Some know him for Suicide Club or Love Exposure , but who has ever heard of the forty-eight works that built his thirty-five-year career? Through this work, Sono Sion gives us access to what constitutes him today as an accomplished artist, but above all as a human being. He tells us about the road traveled, from his chaotic childhood in the small town of Toyohashi to a first Hollywood blockbuster, passing through the public benches of San Francisco.
