I Found Myself Smaller and Smaller

About This Movie

I Found Myself Smaller and Smaller is an intriguing piece of speculative storytelling. Set a century in the future, it centers on Komori, a man shaped by his lack of education and a drifting existence, who unexpectedly reconnects with his childhood friend Uchida at a remote funeral. The film has this haunting, almost melancholic atmosphere, and the pacing allows for quiet moments of reflection as the two characters navigate their starkly different lives. The themes of ambition, education, and the human condition resonate throughout, and while the director isn't known, the performances carry a weight that feels authentic, almost raw. It’s not flashy, but there’s a unique charm in its simplicity and depth, really makes you think about the passage of time and choices we make.

This film is quite rare, having only seen limited releases on VHS and a few niche DVD collections. Collector interest is growing, particularly among those who appreciate lesser-known, thought-provoking narratives from the early '90s. Its scarcity and the unique themes make it a film that often gets discussed in collector circles, especially for those who enjoy exploring the more unconventional corners of cinema.
