"Relic"

The Benign Indifference of the World
The protagonist is unable to balance his words and body. Kounosuke repeatedly makes mistakes by talking about things he doesn't have to say. Kuramoto refuses to explain. The confusion of the characters is a universal problem of communication. However, the final scene, in which the protagonist becomes depressed and starts talking like a machine gun in a conversation that he does not engage in, gives the film a unique contemporary perspective.
