Frames, gazes, physical gestures, inner thoughts, and cinematic colors are seamlessly blended to form this Japanese narrative. The contemplative man, clad in a deep blue kimono, reflects on recent events in his life and questions whether they were real or illusory. To counterbalance the rational and reflective demeanor, vivid and bold reds are embodied in the female character, named Akane, as well as in the deep magenta tunic of the ghost’s attire.
