* This recommendation is only in relation to an anthology episode of Sweat Punch, titled “Comedy”.
They bear semblance in symbolic figure and contrasting relationship dynamic, in which a little girl embodies innocence and fragility; in need of company and urgent protection from an external threat, and a lonesome man who, in contrast, manifests a tinge of darkness and danger. The atmosphere is also fairly alike; staged in a calm and distant countryside overriden with dense forest, cozy cottage and warm fireplace— yet with the looming sense of imminent horrors. Both were made with a touch of European sensibilities and rather dark fairy-tale trappings.
