Deeply unpleasant. As someone wrote below, this story was written by a racist French surgeon. The algorithm brought this film up last night and I couldn't stop thinking about it while lying in bed. It seems like an allegory for a sexual predator who is shunned from his community for assaulting his grandson, leaves then assaults and destroys the life of a kind woman who takes him in, and later when no one in his home will take him back, discovers he can "enshrine" himself in an African village and have continual access to young girls there. A thinly veiled power fantasy. I wonder if the man who wrote it desired this life but felt shame about it and decided to put it in a film. Left me unsettled.

And before anyone says I am reading into things - yes. I am. I am also assuming any French army surgeon in the 1920s had distorted notions about African cultures. It is unfortunate to see that ignorance reflected in the otherwise beautiful animation style of this film, and I believe reflects on the unfortunate reality of anti -Black racism in Japan. When I visited Japan with my art cohort the one girl with us who was Black had a really horrible time with shopkeepers and servers in restaurants being rude to her. It is an unfortunate cultural gap.
Если разжевать всего пять вишневых (или черешневых, биологически они не сильно отличаются) косточек, то ты умрешь. Забавно что в конце он попал в параллельный мир.
