The third of the short films on the Best v Best Vol 2 DVD that I watched made me think that perhaps I am doomed to be on the outside looking in with all the films. I say this because Wayfarers just cracked on into what it wanted to do without really giving me anything to help me come along with it. With other films this was a minor issue but here it was a big one. A ten minute look around the grounds and patients within some sort of home for the mentally challenged is fine and it was reasonably interesting but the approach meant it was never more than that. 　　I saw the people and the place but never felt anything for them or understood the wider aim of the film. Is this home part of a bigger failure in Ukraine to deal with the needy of society? I have no idea and, despite having watched this film, still have no idea. Visually the film is great. I really liked the black and white and enjoyed the mix of mobile shots, candid shots and portrait-like, silent frames of the people. It helps it a lot although the failure in the material cannot be redeemed solely by this strength. 　　Overall then, stylistically an interesting film but one where it cries out for context and some sort of help for the audience. For viewers who are aware of the bigger picture or of the relevance, this may prove touching but for myself it was well put together and sadly nothing more than that.

映像作家の宇治茶が監督・脚本・編集・キャラクターデザイン・作画・撮影を1人で担当し、アニメーションと劇画を融合させた「ゲキメーション」という表現方法を用いて完成させた異色長編アニメ。日本の山奥の村に暮らすアメリカ人少年のボビーは、数少ない友人であるあっくんと猫のデレクを連れ、遊びに出かける。その道すがら、娯楽施設「バイオレンス・ボイジャー」と書かれた看板を発見し、施設に足を踏み入れるボビーたち。そこで彼らが出会った少女・時子は、数日前からここから出られずにいるという。さらに、先客として迷い込んでいた村の子どもたちは、謎の白スーツを着た子どもの襲撃を受け、次々と捕獲されてしまう。時子の救出と復讐のために、ボビーたちが立ち上がるが……。ボビーの声を「魔法少女まどか☆マギカ」の悠木碧が担当するほか、「ココリコ」の田中直樹、「サバンナ」の高橋茂雄、田口トモロヲらが声優として参加。ナレーションを松本人志が務める。

A man travels to the eastern coast of Korea carrying the ashes of his deceased wife. He hopes to scatter them in a place closer to her hometown, which lies near the demilitarized zone separating North from South Korea, but along his journey he becomes burdened with the deaths of two more women who cross his path. At the same time, a nurse attempts to escort the dying chairman of a business conglomerate to his hometown, which is also located just to the north or south of the DMZ. Pursued by henchmen of the chairman's son, a politician who wants to keep his father's journey out of the press, the nurse comes across the man carrying the metaphorical "three coffins."

在埃及法老图坦卡蒙的陵墓深处，一具石棺被发现并送往加利福尼亚科学研究所。X光扫描显示，石棺内藏有五颗钻石般的水晶。技术员彼得·夏普偷走了这些水晶，却没有注意到强烈的X光意外唤醒了一种邪恶的绿色真菌。当石棺在大学新闻发布会上被打开时，现场的记者们发现了超乎想象的情况——木乃伊不见了……因为“时间旅者”已经复活！

2003年的北京，赵小桃坐在单轨列车上给过去的男朋友打电话，声称要去印度。小桃的前男友则告诉小桃自己要去乌兰巴托。而实际上，赵小桃所说的印度是北京世界公园微缩景点中的印度，她那里为游人跳舞表演。前男友要去的乌兰巴托则比北京更往北的蒙古国的首都。二人约着相见，一起吃饭，小饭馆里烟雾弥漫，似乎能掩饰这种告别的忧伤。赵小桃又坐在单轨列车上给现在的男朋友成太生打电话，她说她想见他。成太生是世界公园的保安队长，正在微缩的艾菲尔铁塔上执勤。赵小桃与成太生都来自外地，住在公园里，一起工作、吃饭、游荡、……他们在这座城市里幻想、相爱、争吵、和解。北京城喧嚣的噪音，让人兴奋或是沉默。在这座布满微缩景观的公园内，从金字塔到曼哈顿只需十秒钟，世界其实就是角落。
