The most realized film version of Existentialism, Hiroshi Teshigahara's masterpiece is probably a perfect film. On the surface it's about a man's internal struggle over his inability to make a relationship work and his general alienation. This Sisyphus is an entomologist condemned to live material eternity in a trap that he must come to terms with. He is the insects he studies, lost in their futile struggle to build something that the earth will easily swallow up in time. All is transitory but the Self.
According to the ancient sages of India, the Self is neither the body, thoughts, feelings, nor intellect, but rather all pervasive Being/Consciousness manifesting as the Heart in all beings, from which emanates the awareness of "I" and Knowledge of the Self, which includes the realization that all knowledge is in and from the subject-"I", the seer, not the object.
