most explicitly ecological films.

That this idea that the work

528
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:30,880
is that the action is taking place
not on just a kind of stage set,

529

but in a kind of living world.

530

would be a great example for that,

531

this deer God, the Shishigami.

made of sort of phosphorescence,
