The Pool for Rain

1985 • Directed by

Mori Anno

A naked woman in the water, two women caressing each other in a pool without water, a woman in a cage, four half-naked women standing in a room. The fragmentary images of the various women are chained together in a discontinuous manner, and as a whole, a dry eroticism with ambiguous meaning drifts from the screen. The laughter, murmurs, and screams of the women overlap to form a unique internal world that the artist, a woman, has captured with her physiological sensibility. A film that attempts to confirm the uncertainty of our existence.
