A series of surreal animated setpieces connected by motifs and implications rather than anything resembling a story. As surrealism, it's more John Ashbery than Kunihiko Ikuhara: there's no dialogue or narration, instead scenes are punctuated by gnomic intertitles that together have the feeling (to me at least) of an oblique prose poem on the nature of artistic creation. The relationship between the scenes and the intertitles is less than obvious, and some of the interest in the film is probably in the way the two intersect and complement each other. Which goes to say, this is a pretty challenging watch and I can't say I ... had the energy to concentrate on it properly. Maybe I'll give it another shot some day.
