Not sure why the director, Masahiro Tsutani, is absent from this profile (I'm imagining TMDb cleanup I'll have to do some time since no one else cares) but everyone else trying to make the most extremely Doug's jam abstract films ever should retire. The first film, which I don't think is even on here, screened in Auckland maybe nine years ago at a weird-ass short film programme shown in a lecture hall, and the combination of Merzbow wall of noise, Boredoms spasms, and kosmiche bliss as audio combined with a complementary visual approach with similarly variant approaches to density and complexity, partially achieved by major shifts in resolution throughout, blew me away so much that after nine years of fruitless searching I finally reached out to the filmmaker to find out how I can see the sequel.

He replied overnight, and I was scared that nine years of mental buildup was a precursor to blinding disappointment.

Readers, it was not. Plus the dude added imagery actually photographing live neural structures of rat brains, bringing in my interest in neuroscience to an already rich stew of "shit that Doug's into".

And now I'm pretty sure I have a "most obscure film watched this year" on Letterboxd.
