Part 9/9:
Symbol expertly navigates the themes of isolation, absurdity, and ultimately empowerment within a whimsical setting. With its humor intertwined with surrealism, it challenges audiences to ponder deeper meanings behind the absurd as the protagonist evolves from being a mere participant in his bizarre world to embracing a role with significant weight and responsibility. The film’s mixture of comedy and philosophy leaves a lasting impression, making it a unique entry in Japanese cinema worth exploring.
