The Forest of Love: Deep Cut (Season 1)

The Forest of Love: Deep Cut (愛なき森で叫べ : Deep Cut, 2020) is a Japanese crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Sion Sono. Women's bodies are turning up in the outskirts of Tokyo. Two young men with filmmaking ambitions run into a third on the street and decide to document the case together.

Two women join the project — former classmates who both had prior contact with Joe Murata, a charming conman who becomes the subject of the film. The closer they get to Murata, the harder it is to stay on the outside. Starring Shinnosuke Mitsushima, Eri Kamataki, and Kihei Shiina. Rated TV-MA.

Sono originally cut this material as a feature film in 2019; Deep Cut is the expanded series version, running roughly twice the length of the original and giving the story more room to unravel. Psychologically relentless, deliberately disturbing. Stream The Forest of Love: Deep Cut online on iFILM.
