The World

2009 · 50 min

A slow, immersive wash of abstract imagery that asks you to surrender to rhythm and texture rather than follow a story.

Directed by
Takashi Makino
Overview
The four elements referred to as "water", "flame", "wind" and "earth" in this film all exist individually while responding to each other, by fighting and loving each other, foster the concept of a world in each individual's "subjectivity".
How it feels
Eerie, melancholic and whimsical. Slow-burning and demanding.
About
Nature, identity, art, isolation
Content
No violence, gore, sexual content or swearing.
