Known in Japan as Suicide Circle (自殺サークル Jisatsu Sākuru ) is a 2002 Japanese independent horror film that gained a considerable amount of notoriety in film festivals
around the world for its controversial subject matter and gory
presentation, and has since developed a significant cult following. It
won the Jury Prize for "Most Ground-Breaking Film" at the Fantasia Film Festival. The movie was written and directed by Sion Sono. It deals with a wave of seemingly unconnected suicides that strikes Japan and the efforts of the police to determine the reasons behind the strange behavior.
The film takes place in a period of six days, with footage from a
fictional pop group "Dessert" opening the movie, and closing during the
credits.
