Kunimatsu Masayoshi

ストレンジ・ハイ

Even in death, he stalks me Ando is a timid boy who suddenly finds himself accused by his gloomy classmate Arai of breaking a promise he didn't make. The next day, Ando goes to visit him. The next day, he is told by a visiting detective that Arai has committed suicide. From that day on, the supposedly dead Arai begins to disrupt Ando's life. In a series of well-crafted episodes, Ando shows us the two things that ordinary people fear the most: "being a bit strange" and "being rumoured to be a bit strange". However, the film's humour, which is on the edge of psycho, such as Arai's vivacity after his death, leaves a strange taste that straddles the line between funny and scary.
