Ningen Shikkaku: Director's Cut-ban
AnimationDramaHistory
A theatrical film version of Madhouse's Aoi Bungaku Series anime. The film will re-edit the four episodes based on Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human (Ningen Shikkaku) novel, which have character designs inspired by manga artist and novel illustrator Takeshi Obata. This "director's cut" will include new "navigation" footage which is being created specifically for the film with narrator Masato Sakai.
VIBE
A haunting descent into existential dread. This film feels like a beautiful, yet devastating, portrait of a soul lost to despair. Its visuals are as striking as its themes are heavy, leaving a profound, unsettling aftertaste.
