“Well, actors really shouldn’t die, you know. Actors should die in movies. They should die in the story. And then come back to life in another movie. The repetition of history… reincarnation. But Humphrey Bogart actually died outside of the movies. What a selfish person.”
——Shūji Terayama, “farewell to movie”

“Could it be that it’s still lacking a hint of the fantastical?”
——Tatsuki Fujimoto, “Goodbye Eri”
