Stink Bug

2003 • Directed by

Masanori Tominaga

On the rearview mirror is the face of a man driving a car. He is babbling on to himself about something. In fact, he just left home after a quarrel with his wife. He returns home with a view to revenging on his wife, but she is nowhere to be seen. In a little while, his childhood friend Dacao pays a visit. This short film < Kamemushi > by director Tominaga Masanori became famous after its release in cinemas in Japan, which is very rare for a short film. The mind of the deluded main character is well portrayed through the exquisite combination of image and sound.
