the credit at the end read all direct by shigeru izumiya . that a fitting way to phrase it because it seem like film material from several project be throw together somehow and barely even attempt to make it all form one consistent work . it more felt like one of those music clip thing that be market a feature film to cash in on those video commercial and just that here we have the marketable music and the live performance miss and except for one scene and which may as well be market a a weird music video clip in japan . whatever . it make zero sense . visually it isn not too special either and although it have it moment ( for example the female creature with the death powder who be strap onto a bed base and some morphing sh . t throughout ) and it certainly have an industrial y feeling to it . usually i would call the effect dilettantish but what this film offer in this regard be baffle more than anything else . you remember those cheap video effect from 70 and 80 music video that make them look so dated and like a picture within a picture fly through the screen . there be quite a lot of these kind of effect in this and and without any apparent reason . the most half assed seem effort come in the form of a picture collage . the picture sort of look like album cover . whatever . i do not know what up with the subtitle of the version i saw . the chinese one ( or whatever those hieroglyphic be ) sometimes seem to show up when nothing be even say and the english one often show up without the chinese one . the english sub talk much about life without death ( be it possible . ) and and a mind without a body and which provide what come closest to a comprehensible conflict between character in this film . one guy ( a scientist dude ) say that life without flesh be death while another guy ( a metamorphosing dude ) who claim his mind be beyond his body now that he get the death powder blow into his face and that he now know the secret of the flesh and whatnot while metamorphose dude be visibly p. ssed off about the scientist dude claim . whatever . erm and the end all write by perception de ambiguity .
