usagi ga kowai

Kurashige Tetsuji | Japan | 2002 | 13' |

| IFFR 2003

A perverted gourmet boardgame in which two rabbits and a young girl turn up. The story of a girl entrusted to a rabbit. ‘When I was still a child, I unexpectedly fell asleep during a meal. This work is the expression of such a desire and of desire in general.’ A very elegant, introverted and refined animation film that is a long way away from the usual Japanese anime for children.
