WHY DON’T YOU PLAY IN HELL? shows what happens when a film team gets caught in the middle of a yakuza gang war. In his newest cinematic excess, Sion SONO orchestrates the biggest blood bath the screen has seen since KILL BILL. It also features the most insanely catchy tooth paste commercial of all times. If hell is this much fun, why would anyone want to go to heaven?

He won the PIA Film Festival Grand Prize for A MAN’S HANAMICHI (1987). In 1990 he wrote, directed, and starred in a 16mm feature entitled BICYCLE SIGHS.
