Stealing this from @lukealexdavis.co.uk who is awesome
Horror has been a source of catharsis for me for my whole adult life. It's an acknowledgement of how fucked up everything can be, and a way of sitting in that feeling in a safer environment.

A guttural scream in film form, like life becomes too much and it spills out of you. It's just 11 minutes long.
Fukui went on to direct some of the wildest Cyberpunk movies, like Pinocchio 964, which contains a scene that's like a re-imagining of this short.
A bizarre dark comedy/horror about the machinations of fascism, with some incredibly striking cinematography
Four ghost stories, all tragic and strange and, above all, absurdly beautiful. Truly one of the most visually stunning movies I've seen.
One of the closest depictions of a nightmare on screen, along with Bokanowski's later film, Déjeuner du matin. He achieved a style that I've never seen replicated.
Honestly the best description I have of this short is it's just so fucking cool.
Some kind of structuralist take on the formation of horror imagery and emotions, but, like, not boring.
