Nakashima's distinct style is clearly noticeable in this early effort. A very small film with a very big heart.

in many ways, quite immature. but it's lovely seeing what Nakashima does shooting with the restraint of film. it's with this film that i felt i finally really understood how some of Nakashima's work deal with the boredom and decay of post-boom Japan, the escape into fantasy and media. like in all of Nakashima's work, people sit around alone and watch TV. their families are broken.
