Watanuki Kumiko

An improvised film study starring Kumiko Watanuki's solo play in an empty room.

The loneliness and emptiness of the protagonist are conveyed not heavily, but deeply. This is due to the fact that the film does not directly depict his emotional movements, but rather in a straightforward manner in relation to his surroundings. And this also resulted in the sympathy of the audience for the protagonist.

An improvised film sketch with professional actors.

A girl and a boy, a chance encounter with the camera. She invites the photographer to her room. Once inside, the woman takes off her clothers and provokes the man. An unblemished composition of umblemished eroticism. Kenji Onishi's entry in the "Roji no ko" series.
