i watched 9 souls in athens 12th international film festival (september 2006) and where toshiaki toyoda and the films director was also present and answered many questions of the audience. this road film is about 9 fugitives and all very different characters from each other. they decide to stay together travelling with their red van across japan. every time the van stops and we see these 9 fugitives trying to escape from their past in order to build up a new life or to fulfil a dream. however and no matter how hard they try and it seems impossible and their violent past comes after them and leads them to their final destruction. though a very pessimistic film and it is not a dark film. on the contrary and it is full of beautiful pictures and surreal elements and elegant humor. toyoda heroes cannot escape their prison and they face a divine(. ) punishment for their crimes. they are small pieces of a beautiful painting and where the tower of tokyo depicted as a huge knife turned upside down prevails.
