To the Thanaton Thanatos River

The official WAIFF Kyoto description presents the film as a fragmentary record of a journey toward the Thanaton Thanatos River, a place whose very existence remains uncertain. Rather than a conventional route, the viewer follows traces of memory, roads and images.

The festival jury describes the work as darkly poetic and atmospherically distinctive, with affinities to auteur cinema, literature and games. Those comparisons belong to the jury; the official page does not provide a more specific authorial genre statement.
