突貫ジジイ 第5話 ある実験
Synopsis
In this compact, off-kilter vignette, a lone researcher conducts a small-scale “experiment” whose procedures slide quietly from the scientific to the absurd. Confined to a minimal setting, his deadpan actions and seemingly methodical gestures generate a cool, understated comedic tension. Kiyoshi Kurosawa appears as the white-coated experimenter, and his impassive presence anchors the short’s blend of observational humor and controlled unpredictability.
