Noriko's Dinner Table

Noriko's Dinner Table (紀子の食卓 Noriko no Shokutaku^?), is the sequel to the cult film Suicide Club (Jisatsu Sākuru), a Japanese film concerning a mass suicide of 54 schoolgirls and how it leads the law to a shadowy cult. It won the Don Quixote award at the 40th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic and a special mention. The movie was written and directed by Sion Sono. This film deals with various themes such as the generation gap on modern families, the nature of happiness, suicide, the lack of real communication, the alienation it causes and how the Internet is used in an attempt to mend it, and the concept of family. It takes place before, during, and after the first film, in hopes of explaining some of the lingering mysteries that film left behind. The film was released theatrically in Japan on September 23, 2006.
