Business Overview
Compsons #13 "Big Kominu" depicts a world where reality and fiction intermingle, based on the Odakyu Line stabbing incident of 2021. It was written and directed by Suzuyuki Kaneko. Mr. Kaneko's internal conflict was one of the motivations for the creation, and the incident served as an opportunity to delve into the dark side of humanity and social distortions. The performers are Chizuru Asano, Ehara Pajamas (Paman), Jiro Omiya, Minoru Takahori, Hanari Hoshino, Jun Hosoi, Yasuaki Hori and Mari Yasukawa. While dealing with heavy themes, the film focuses on the inner lives of human beings and social structures, with typical Compsons humor.
