女之穴

　　Can I Get a Witness? tells the story of a mother and daughter in a near-future world where huge sacrifices are made to maintain life on Earth.　　With its resources swallowed by e-waste and overpopulation, the world is experiencing an anthropogenic collapse. To manage, technological advances are shunned. Nobody has electricity and only people with exceptions are permitted cars. Most importantly, there is also a collective agreement that nobody is allowed to live beyond the age of 50.　　Oh’s Ellie lives with her teenage daughter Kiah (Keira Jang), who is starting her first day as a Documenter, an important role in this new world order. She uses her artistic gifts — beautifully conjured in animations — to draw the dying ceremonies, since printing and photography have been banned.　　Kiah is paired with Daniel (Joel Oulette), the young man who performs the contractual elements of each person’s end-of-life ceremony. He matter-of-factly provides the packages a person can choose, sets them up when the time comes, and performs the burials. But his new coworker is having a hard time handling the emotional impacts of the job.

　　標題中的「ぶぶ漬け（お茶漬け）どうどす」是一句眾所周知的京都表達，京都人常用這句話以委婉的方式傳達「差不多該告辭了」的意思。電影《ぶぶ漬けどうどす》以此為主題，展現了因京都特有的縣民性而引發的各種鬧劇，并展開了一段充滿喜劇色彩的故事。影片以從東京嫁到京都老字號扇子店的自由撰稿人澁澤まどか為主人公，描繪了〈京都人〉與從東京而來的〈外地人〉之間的攻防與沖突。

這是一部只有背景音樂寫實的粗獷毫不妥協且極具風格的獨立無聲藝術電影，描述在美國式的自由民主制度下所誕生的黑社會陰暗面、地痞流氓、吸食毒品、色情、謀殺、販賣軍火等，改編自古希臘荷馬史詩中的人物故事。

講述某處某個“式”的故事——它究竟是祝福，還是一場離別的儀式？答案，藏在某個尚未抵達的地方。
