U-SA-GUI

In Tetsuji Kurashige's unsettling work, U-SA-GUI, the narrative unfolds with a striking reference to Brillat-Savarin's 1825 exploration of taste and its impact on dreams. This avant-garde film immerses viewers in a darkly imaginative world where a peculiar game is played between two rabbits and a blindfolded woman. Set against the backdrop of an archaic illustrated board game, the rabbits engage in a tense standoff, their every move dictated by the woman's choices.

As the game progresses, the woman must consume the foods depicted on the board. Each correct selection triggers a surreal response— a die emerges from her mouth, determining the rabbits' next strategic maneuver. The film weaves a complex tapestry of suspense and horror, inviting audiences to ponder the interplay between desire, choice, and the subconscious in a nightmarish setting.
