Experimenting with long exposures, abstract sound designs, and rapid-fire montage,
Takashi Itô's Thunder entices the viewer with the allure of illusion. Following a disembodied female face into silent rooms and narrow, ill-lit corridors, the profound and painful wounds of the past come to light. Now, the unknown is calling, and the path of a lightning bolt is the means of achieving enlightenment. Is that an electric spectre emerging from the palpable darkness?
