An animated adaptation of six classical Japanese literature pieces, including No Longer Human (Ningen Shikaku) and Run, Melos (Hashire, Melos) by Osamu Dazai, Kokoro by Natsume Souseki, Hell Screen (Jigoku Hen) .
This brief animation follows the crumbling life of an alienated high school student through adulthood, and eventually his death.
He is an individual ridden with depression and a bit of narcissism and finds it difficult, if not impossible, to relate to other humans at all.
He thinks he is a failure at being human, hence the title, ‘No Longer Human’. Ningen Shikkaku tells his tale in a most despairing manner, and leaves a crawling, off-kilter feeling at the end.
It’s tragic, with themes of alcohol abuse and mental illness, and unnerving with the life it breathes into the little humanoid monsters which personify the main character’s fears and self-image.
If that’s not dark, I don’t know what is!
