Former poet Sono Sion, easily one of the most consistently interesting and original directors working in the world today, returns with the offbeat serial killer tale “Cold Fish”. Having taken a stab at understated melodrama with the sadly little seen “Be Sure to Share” he again returns to the glorious bombast and excess of his all conquering masterpiece “Love
Exposure”, exploring once more themes of family, religion, life, love and modern gender roles in his usual demented style.


A wild, gory outing filled with gleeful violence and bizarre poetry, the film is a challenging and philosophical affair that recalls “Suicide Club” and “Noriko’s Dinner Table”. Unsurprisingly, as with most of Sono’s works, the film has proved divisory during its extensive world tour of festivals, though as ever the extreme imagery and content plays a vital part in its theme and meanings rather than having been thrown in for shock value alone.

The key to making someone disappear is to cut up the body into tiny bite sized chunks and to separate the meat from the bone. From there, you can burn the bones in an industrial barrel and dropped the diced human into the river to be eaten by the fish. It takes a time commitment, but it’s really a simple procedure.

This is just one of the many lessons presented in the movie Cold Fish, the new work from Sion Sono that tells the story of Shamoto (Mitsuru Fukikoshi), a timid tropical fish store owner who is bullied by his daughter and shut out from sexual intercourse by his wife.  Watch English  Movie Online

Murata (Denden), a fellow entrepreneur in the fish world, helps the family out by employing the rebellious daughter, leaving the household open for fornication to commence, and making Shamoto his latest business partner on a big score. Of course, all of this comes at a heavy cost, and Shamoto soon learns how to make someone disappear.

There is a lot going on here, and it all comes fast and furious like a madman shoving a switchblade into your collar bone. The film is almost unrecognizable as a Sion Sono film; the director is quickly proving himself to be a filmic chameleon, even if he consistently returns to themes of defining family, sex, and power.

Those themes are obvious here, especially for anyone familiar with his previous work like Noriko’s Dinner Table and Love Exposure. Murata takes over the role as father figure to Shamoto’s daughter when he employs her. He takes on the role as husband when he not-as-forcefully-as-expected takes Shamoto’s wife on the floor of his office. Each role and family presence is reversed and sometimes re-reversed within the story, and it does nothing but add to the depth and viciousness of the power struggle.
