is a Japanese filmmaker, author and poet. ==Career== After receiving a fellowship with the PIA, Sono made his first feature-length 16 mm film in 1990, ''Bicycle Sighs'' (''Jitensha Toiki''), a coming-of-age tale about two underachievers in the perfectionist Japan. Sono co-wrote, directed, and starred in the film.〔http://www.madmuseum.org/events/bicycle-sighs-jitensha-toiki〕 In 1992, Sono's second feature film ''The Room'' (''Heya''), also written by himself, was a bizarre tale about a serial killer looking for a room in a bleak, doomed Tokyo district. It participated at the Tokyo Sundance Film Festival and won the Special Jury Prize. ''The Room'' also toured on 49 festivals worldwide, including the Berlin Film Festival and the Rotterdam Film Festival.〔http://www.festivalscope.com/director/sono-sion〕 In 2005 he wrote and directed ''Into a Dream'' (''Yume no Naka e''), which also released as a novel later on, and was a coming-of-age tale much in the style of his first film ''Bicycle Sighs'', about the life of a theatre group member and his quest to find who he is. Few weeks after that, he released the ''Suicide Circles second part, based on the ''Kanzenban'' novel. ''Noriko's Dinner Table'' was also directed and written by him, and was part of twelve film festivals worldwide. For this movie he worked with many first-time actors, and took the ''Suicide Circle'' story into a different level. For his efforts, he received a Don Quijote Award and a Special Mention at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. At the end of 2005, Sion Sono also premiered a personal project with actors Issei Ishida and Masumi Miyazaki. ''Strange Circus'' (''Kimyô na Sâkasu''), directed, written, composed and cinematographed by Sono, took elements from the Grand Guignol theater and a story from the minds of both Masumi and Sono, filled with incest, sexual abuse, terrible family issues, extreme gore, and a twisted sense of reality.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First Stills – Sion Sono's New Slasher Film: Coldfish )〕 In 2008, he was the director and writer of ''Love Exposure''. ''Love Exposure'' is the first film in Sono's "Hate" trilogy; the films ''Cold Fish'', released in 2010, and ''Guilty of Romance'', released in 2011, are the second and third installments of the trilogy respectively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Suicide Club' Director Gets Behind Camera for 'Cold Fish' )〕 2011 saw Sono be recognized in the United States with his work being highlighted in the cinema series ''Sion Sono: The New Poet'' presented at the (Museum of Arts and Design ) in New York City.
