Kafka's A Country Doctor 3/3

[Aicirt8]

Huh. Kinda interesting, but didn't make any sense to me. I'd love to hear someone's interpretation of this. Loved the atmosphere.

Incredible interpretation and art. I love the choir; it creates an eerie, beautiful feel. Spot on.

I seen this in class just a little while ago. Very interesting!

近づいてくる斧にみんな気づかないふりをする。誰だって斧を持っ­てる。誰だって斧で斬る。

Definitely different from all that anime junk coming from Japan, but still junk. Kafka's story is recited slavishly, but without any understanding.

怖かった。でも面白かった

人も歩けば斧に当たる。世の中至る所斧だらけ。だが人々は今想像­力の歩く墓場、誰もそんなこと気づいてやしない。

The moral of the story is to love yourself. This really captured the true meaning of christmas.

I loved how he took the physiological realism perceptive and made this dream-like. Excellent, truly excellent.

This was amazing!

I would love to see this studio create an interpretation of "The Penal Colony," another of Kafka's short stories.

[theroachksu]

I thought this story, in its brevity, was much more powerful than "In the Penal Colony."

[Theoppositesex]

One of the best anime I've ever seen, and it's not even strictly anime!

[sarcasmosis]

Just wow.

I've seen Yamamura San, and he says that its Youri Norstein (not sure of spelling) that told him that his film mountain head reminded him of Kafka writings!

[StruhDaehYm]

@wwwblissaca You mean Yuriy Norshteyn, the author of "Hedgehog in the Fog" and "Tale of Tales" which are also avaible on youtube. He is a legend in the world of animation.

[mkutz1325]

that was... amazing. his interpretation of that story is flawless. it's almost like he shared a connection into kafka's mind.

i would suggest to anyone who sees this to go out and find the story, because it is one of the best short stories i have ever read.

@mkutz1325 Yamamura's interpretation is right on. I suspect it was informed by the scholarship of Eric Marson and Keith Leopold. But, indeed, this visual interpretation does eerily seem connected to the "sense" of Kafka that one gets from reading his texts.
