But looking at the back, I found that this form of performance fully supports the sense of formality and tragic sense of Heshi who exists as an object in this story, which is beyond words! "In the Tea Bowl" is slightly worse, but it ends with a looping story, which brings endless aftertaste to the film as a whole.
