The five characters are cut into various "twos" and the restrained direction accurately conveys their emotions and relationships. The tension in the long shots in particular could be described as "expertly delicate".

Elusive memories flash in the back of his head. Visualising the people and landscapes as they are there, as casually as they are there, should be a difficult task, just as the protagonist struggled with the writing process.

There are no particularly dramatic episodes, but after watching the film, you will feel nostalgic for all the people in the film.

This film is meant to inspire an interest in reading, especially for those who have difficulties. Words act out their meaning: scare is scary, fun is fun, sob cries, etc. It's an adventure story for the film's two main characters: a "stick" man and his dog; a journey into the world of words.

"Self recognition changes according to the condition of mental health. When the person is not healthy, the image of oneself looks distorted like the ones reflected on a spoon. Maybe screaming happens when the gap between the ideal self and the reflected self is too big. The person is retrieved when he/she forgets about the ideal." - Tamami Asada

This video examines the sorts of propaganda that a corporation might distribute internally to communicate an over-arching mandate or vision to its workers in order to boost morale. Bernadette Corporation slyly turns the notion inside out, yielding a document that at once subverts and expresses the form. Write the artists: "An early self-portrait of Bernadette Corporation and an in-house film whose purpose was to inspire and motivate members of the New York-base artist collective cum underground fashion label. Corporate propaganda for a subculture-obsessed youth market."

"In God the Pugilist—The 13th Protocol Stiglicz animates cutouts from a painting of Adam and Eve amid the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza; his commentary is as puzzling as his attempt to join European and Mesoamerican imagery, which is interesting for its over-the-top weirdness alone." - Fred Camper
