SubDVD om filmen / About the film: Uppföljare till Moris dokumentär "A" om den japanska sekten Aum Shinrikyo. Det är nu fyra år sedan nervgasattackerna i Tokyos tunnelbana. Sektmedlemmarna har spridit ut sig på fler mindre kollektiv. Filmens fokus ligger på relationerna med deras nya grannar (ofta organiserade och aggressiva i sitt motstånd mot sektmedlemmarna), samt högerextrema gruppers kampanjer mot dem.
SYNOPSIS
Documentary filmmaker Tatsuya Mori continues the story of the notorious Aum Shinrikyo cult in this provocative follow-up to his critically acclaimed A. With Aum leader Shoko Asahara on trial for his role in the 1995 poison?gas attack in the Tokyo subways, his followers struggle to maintain their beliefs and doctrines. Despite a name change and a shake-up in leadership, the cult suffers from verbal and physical assaults by media, police, and ordinary Japanese citizens. Broader in scope than A, this sequel continues to chronicle the inner workings of this elusive cult while revealing the dark side of contemporary Japan. (Japanese with English subtitles) |
