"I would highly recommend the 'eat shit and die' song." Filmmaker Neo Sora talks activism in Japan, the correlation between pop culture and protesting, and how he wants to inject images of revolution back into the minds of Japan's youth with Happyend. a-rabbitsfoot.com/editorial/…

Protest has faded from Japan’s youth—with Happyend, Neo Sora is giving it back - A Rabbit's Foot

Neo Sora's quietly powerful new feature Happyend has friendship at its core and revolution in its veins .

My review of Happyend (dir. Neo Sora) is up here: theguardian.com/film/2025/se…

Happyend review – Orwellian Japanese high-school drama is brilliantly dystopian

Teen romance and paranoid surveillance collide to dysfunctional effect in Neo Sora’s beguiling debut future set in an oppressive near-future

“As a piece of filmmaking, Happyend is both impressively assured and perhaps a bit too deadpan for its own good.” @brofromanother reviews Neo Sora’s dystopian drama Happyend, out Friday. bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/r…

Happyend review: impressive future-shock satire

Tokyo teens rise up against authoritarian forces in Neo Sora’s smart but schematic dystopian drama.

'[R]hythmic and propulsive, with reverberating sound and images juxtaposed against one another to lend more meaning. The result, in a word, is marvellous.' @nytimes Oscar-contender Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat continues to play this week. bit.ly/STACDbdh

Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat - Bertha DocHouse

This megalith of a film teases out the complex, sordid details of Congo's liberation from Belgian colonial rule in June 1960.
