Eccentric auteur Sion Sono’s films have ranged from sex-and-violence-drenched epics (Cold Fish, Tokyo Tribe) to low-fi sci-fi (The Whispering Star) to, most recently, the Nicolas Cage-starring Prisoners of the Ghostland. Sono was inspired to make Red Post on Escher Street by a workshop he gave for aspiring actors. Rather than simply teaching them, he decided to make a film with them. The result is a delirious behind-the-scenes comedy featuring a host of wackos hoping to become stars by auditioning for a festival-darling director’s latest movie. The title offers a clue to the film’s ingenious structure, which loops back and forth in time as it follows each of the thespian hopefuls before building to a truly demented conclusion. IndieWire’s David Ehrlich calls it "an exhilarating postmodern comedy . . .An orgiastic celebration . . . It’s a mega-satisfying and weirdly sweet payoff.”
