  • The film is Wind Man's first independent production, and is his first color film   .
  • The film was made in just 28 days   .
  • Shot in a Tokyo junkyard, the film set up locations and houses in the rubble, and airbrushed sheds and roads in deep pinks, golds and greens. During filming, the ground became colorful because of the chemical reaction between the paint and the rubbish in the dump, which made Wind Man happy   .
  • When filming, Wind Man did not require the actors to rehearse as strictly as before, but asked the actors to act naturally, to improvise and to add to the characters they were playing   .
  • During the preparation of the film, Wind Man asked Japanese elementary school students to send him sketches of trams in the urban area to be nailed on the walls of Xiaoliujia. While the final images shown in the film were done by the Wind Man creators, they were indeed inspired by more than 2,000 images   .
  • Because Akutagawa is more ruthless and ruthless than Apin, played by Lu Zhi, Wind Man asked Akutagawa not to blink, not even a single blink during the performance. To take a close-up of his face, Wind Man even put a clear plastic bag over his head so the light wouldn't pierce his eyes   .

Dodes'ka-den quotes

  • Suicidal Old Man: [Haltingly, opening up to Mr. Tanba, who patiently listens to him] I'm fed up with everything now... Life is nothing but pain to me. When I get up in the morning and get ready for breakfast... thinking I have to do everything all over again, I just lose my strength. Food doesn't taste good. I lose my appetite.

    Suicidal Old Man: [continues, as Mr. Tanba listens silently] When I go to the public bath, I'm disgusted to see myself in the mirror. Naked, I look really disgusting and filthy. I can't stand myself. At this point... the only thing I want... is to die quickly. I want to disappear from this world.

    Mr. Tanba: [Mr. Tanba gets up and starts rummaging for some items, and prepares a powder which he gives to the man] This powder is used in engraving. It's a very strong poison, not sold to the public. You'll die without pain an hour after taking it. If you really want to die, take it.

    Suicidal Old Man: [the suicidal man eagerly takes the powder and pours all of it in his mouth, then drinks it down with water] Thank you. It's very kind of you. Goodbye.

  • Yukichi Shima: [speaking to his three guests] Let me ask you a question. Have you ever found a way to get rice from a rice store? I don't mean borrowing, I mean taking it right in front of their eyes.

    Yukichi Shima: [continues] You take a big pot and get it all wet on the inside, and have it filled at the rice store. Try to get it on credit and they'll refuse. You throw the rice out, but the pot is wet. So some rice remains stuck to the sides. If you repeat that three times, you'll get enough for a meal. Eh? Great, isn't it?
