Ryosuke HASHIGUCHI

Nippon Visions ½
Ryosuke HASHIGUCHI’s wonderfully subversive tragicomedy observes the behavior of ordinary people in different group situations in six psychologically outstanding episodes. Feelings of loneliness, distance, discrimination and the constriction of social norms become apparent for all. Only the “zentai”, full-body tights, offer freedom and escape from appearance and gender.
