Comment by Seiji Kishi (Director)
This film depicts the theme of "human perception.
When I thought about "Why do people feel so differently from each other? I thought, "Why do people feel so differently from each other?
From this, I derived the theme of "human perception" for this work, which is expressed in the story and on the screen through Kobayashi's point of view and others.
The worldview of Edogawa Rampo, the author of the original story, is well matched to this theme, resulting in an unusual work of art.
I hope that you will look forward to seeing how the story, which proceeds on the theme of "human recognition," will reach its conclusion.
The opening film has themes and foreshadowing of the story scattered throughout, so if you watch it again after you have finished the whole film, the meaning will become clear.
