Kōichi Imaizumi employs a surrealist approach to explore identity by contrasting the divine and the everyday. The film upends traditional hierarchies by situating a celestial figure in a stigmatized, utilitarian setting. It replaces rigid moral boundaries with a fluid, situational examination of the human experience. However, the film's scope is limited by a lack of visible diversity in terms of race and disability, focusing mainly on subverting gender and religious norms.
