Noriko’s Dinner Table

Limited Edition, Region Free

A companion piece to Sono’s cult classic Suicide Club, this film expands the story into an emotionally gripping exploration of identity, family, and the hidden loneliness of modern life. Following the journey of 17-year-old Noriko, who flees her small-town home for Tokyo, the film pulls viewers into the unsettling world of a “rental family” agency. More than just a “J-horror", Noriko’s Dinner Table is a chilling exploration of connection and alienation in the digital age. Combining intimate storytelling with Sono’s signature surreal flourishes, it is both heartbreaking and unforgettable.

Shot on lo-fi digital video and later transferred to 35mm film, New Wave Video is proud to present a full restoration sourced from the 35mm picture and sound negatives.
