This is Kurosawa Jun, so naturally some symbolism eludes my thought process, but the sensory experience of a crystal ship sailing down the ocean of radiance holds intrinsic merit.

From DVD booklet:
The works recorded here are made by Jun Kurosawa mainly in his years

impulse of destruction, which are expressed in degenerative keywords
such as “death” and “thanatos”: whereas aesthetical images are
also often mentioned. Is it because his distinct features help them to
establish such images? The features can be described as “film scratch”

as “NEKO-MIMI (1994)” and “JESUS WITH ONE LEG (1991-1994).”Read More »
