Viewing Notes
Much respect to Obayashi for spending his final years exploring his feelings about war and disasters and just doing whatever the hell resulting in these nearly 3hr examinations on the subjects.
Would love to know if he casted his actors then they learned how to ride a unicycle or he specifically looked for actors that could ride a unicycle proficiently.
