Who’s there?

About This Movie

So, 'Who’s there?' is quite the unique piece, really. It's this animation that dives into the world of Rakugo through the tale of a parrot, presented by a Rakugo-ka—a lone storyteller, if you will. The animation style feels almost ethereal, immersing you in a blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern flair. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the nuances of the story as it unfolds, which is a nod to the Rakugo art form itself. The character design—crafted with care—adds a layer of charm that complements the storytelling. There’s something intimate about the performance; it feels like you’re privy to a secret world that not many get to experience, which is pretty distinctive in the realm of animation.
