Nippon Shorts: Obsessions
Nippon Visions ½
Six short films explore our thematic focus, OBSESSIONS: In WHAT YOU EAT, beauty standards lead a schoolgirl into a bloody abyss. SHOE LOVER portrays a girl chasing her dreams. OUR VOICE explores a stuttering boy’s trauma. OBEY, OBEY humorously critiques Japan’s school system. SCENARIO depicts a technology-obsessed society, and CONFESSION presents an unorthodox way to cope with aggression.
