New Showbiz Analysis

Koji Morimoto’s film breaks down traditional storytelling by using non-human entities and sensory experiences. It avoids human-centric social structures and offers a unique, postmodern perspective. However, its abstract nature means it doesn’t provide specific, active representations of underrepresented groups.
