Réflexion sur le temps, c'est ennuyant hein mais ça fais réfléchir surtout sur l'utilité de se préoccuper du temps car dans tout les cas la fatalité sera la même : la mort
Après j'aimerai bien trouver une version en HD par ce que bon

Me gustó bastante, como leí en un comentario, es de tenerle paciencia a esta película pero creo que termina por ser buena, además de que no dura mucho y le da el valor de que dura lo que tiene que durar.
Estuvo genial, definitivamente yo también sería Keiko, me gustó que estuviera contando los segundos jajaja

Director-Sion SonoThis is the fifteenth work of Sono that I have seen (Counting the two shows).This is one of the earlier works of Sono before he blossomed into the filmmaker he is today. It is highly experimental to a degree that Sono never was later on in his career. I was reminded a lot of Antiporno while watching this due to the color of the room.This film follows the protagonist as her twenty-second birthday approaches. She deals with it by noting what she does as minutely as possible.The writing, editing, and art direction of the film were also done by Sion Sono.The film sheds light on the mundanity of several of our daily activities and how we don't even remember doing them afterward. Such as what we eat daily, we forget it the next day as it doesn't matter that much.The film also sheds light on the impending doom we all will face as well as dealing with not being as young anymore. I enjoyed the repetition of several of the things she does as it shows us how we are stuck in a monotonous cycle.As we grow older our responsibility increases leading us to having no time for other things in our lives such as hobbies and having a life outside of our cacoon of responsibilities.I am soon going to be in my twenties and hence related to it in a way of having no time to spend on my hobbies as much anymore due to having to join the outside world soon after leaving the warm embrace of my house.The protagonist too will have to do that but still, for some time she has managed to beat time, she now has time to do whatever she wants whenever she wants due to going AWOL for a while.The film also tackles themes of loss of parents as the protagonist is dealing with the loss of her father as well.I believe we all need a room painted yellow and red to escape the world when things get tough and we are nearing our breaking point to avoid doing things we will regret later on.I loved the several costumes she wore throughout the film and the way she was always hopeful of getting a call.The ending of the film is the protagonist will now return to her life of constant struggle to make a mark as well as to survive in this cruel world.
