列車ノトビラゴシニメヲアわせるヒト人へ

1993 • 9 min • Japan

Have you ever felt like punching a person on a train? Sunao is a boy who understands that there is no right thing or right person in the world, but he is obsessed with the fact that there are too many wrong things and wrong people in the world. In the closed room of the train, a microcosm of the world, are the scenes Sunao encounters a mirage or reality? Is the other boy who follows him an illusion created by Sunao, or is he an alter ego of the world? This is an instantaneous spatial film that expresses through a boy with an inner weakness the fantasy that everyone has of being able to hit a noisy woman or a pompous man who happens to be in the same carriage as him. The filming on the train, which must have been done guerrilla style, makes us feel the speed at which the train runs.

こわれもの

1993 • 51 min • Japan

I'm telling you to be a great person like my dad. Tokuichi was at one time a prominent figure in an amateur band. Now he's unemployed, behind on his rent and alimony for his divorced wife and children. One day, his old bandmate, Kiichi, invites him to be the singer of his new band. When he goes to his shop to ask her about it, he finds the woman he had met before waiting for him with a message from Kiichi. The two hit it off and go to Kiichi's training camp, but when they arrive, the band has already broken up. A man who is clumsy and always misses his luck, a man who eats up other people's dreams and is always on the move, and a woman who stands dangerously between the two. The more the story progresses, the more we see the many facets of each of them, and the more the story lingers. From the noisy dialogues and cuts, music can be heard.
