Do people who try to kill themselves not want to live anymore? No, not at all, says the hotel employee in Shell and Joint, a woman who has made multiple attempts herself, including by jumping into a shark-infested sea. Deadly serious, she tells her colleague she blames it all on a bacteria that controls her mind.
Short-film maker Hirabayashi Isamu's feature film debut is full of these offbeat conversations. He portrays various characters at a Japanese capsule hotel in a series of absurdist sketches. One moment puppetry insects philosophise about death, the next a bunch of men discuss erections in the sauna. Hirabayashi uses tight, static framing, making everything extra surreal, and masterfully forges it into a fascinating whole that examines the distinction between man and insect and the thin line between existence and non-existence.

有幸我是成为第一个在豆瓣给它写影评的。但其实在之前，英国学者托尼雷恩斯就赞颂这部片子在给日本电影叙事提供一个新的空间。但其实看多了日剧和动漫，你总能找到一些影子。但导演利用很多自己感兴趣的空间（胶囊旅舍，导演认为虽然房间都很小很近，但每个人生活都不一样，从胶囊旅舍能窥视人间百态）和元素（昆虫和木偶）来看日本当下欲望和生死观，是一次很趣味的尝试！

3.5 一反grand hotel模式，关注的不再是同一空间之内个体彼此的互动，而是疏离和独特性。通篇的昆虫隐喻相当恶趣，透过对腐朽、排泄物、欲望、繁殖几近崇拜的目光，戏谑地触碰了诸如生死和女性在权力体系中的位置等等议题，但也因为这种风格而显得有点不着边际。
