“Hottamaru” is a coined word that is made of two Japanese words “Hotteoku”(leaving something as it is) and “Tamaru”(accumulating). It means things that accumulate if we leave something as it is. Fallen things from human body such as hair, nails, skins of the sole of their feet. Or various smells that accumulate in everyday life.
Women in this film are nymphs as the aggregate of the copy of someone who cannot be human beings. They do everything to satisfy their desires, because they are not educated to live like human beings. Come to think of it, only human beings make their own frame and try hard to make themselves fit it. No other creatures do it. Animals are always as they are. Animals or insects as they are can't talk, and we can't know what they think, but we are never tired of watching them. Moreover, things which aren't even creatures, such as clouds, smoke, raindrops running on the window, have no senses but they do have their own rhythms. I think all the rhythms every moving things have are 'dance'. I really want to shoot 'dance' which isn't just to the music, but we can see everywhere in the whole world.
