Watching: Karōshi

Overview

Karōshi (過労死) is a vast examination into the issue of overworking in contemporary society, the struggles that perpetuate the working class. All that is left is a lingering touch of urban loneliness. The film follows through with scenes of the everyday, the mundane, and the often overlooked aspects of daily life: drawing distinctions between an imagined utopia, and the true dystopian reality.
