The film uses spectres and ghouls to move away from cisnormative human archetypes. This abstraction allows for a fluidity of identity that disrupts traditional binaries, though it lacks explicit LGBTQ+ narratives.

By utilizing non-human entities like gnomes and wraiths, the film bypasses traditional gender hierarchies. However, there is no evidence of specific gendered agency or the subversion of power dynamics.

A monochromatic, pallid palette functions as a deconstruction of racial categorization. This aesthetic choice avoids stereotyping but does not actively promote intersectional visibility or specific cultural agency.

The film prioritizes existential themes over traditional religious or patriotic structures. The use of Scott Walker’s music and non-conformist movement suggests a focus on individualistic, melancholic expression.

The puppets' movements, described as ploding and writhing with awkward grace, suggest a celebration of non-normative physicalities. It remains unclear if this represents disability with agency or is purely aesthetic.
