About The Benign Indifference of the World
The protagonist is unable to balance his words and body. Kounosuke repeatedly makes mistakes by talking about things he doesn't have to say. Kuramoto refuses to explain. The confusion of the characters is a universal problem of communication. However, the final scene, in which the protagonist becomes depressed and starts talking like a machine gun in a conversation that he does not engage in, gives the film a unique contemporary perspective.
Directed by Tomoyuki Imanari, The Benign Indifference of the World leans on a strong ensemble — Tetsuya Miura, Yoko Mizutaka, Tomoko Tsuchiya — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1997.
