Symbolized an urban man with a triangle figure, a country woman with a circle, and represented the encounter between the two by movement.
Director Shigenji Ogino tried to naturally color the movie via the kinema color technique. Due to being an early work, the technique isn't smooth. Because of this the film has a photosensitive epileptic seizure warning as there are high frequency flashes of red and green frames for the duration of the entire film.
Please be careful while viewing.

Where it came from
An Expression is a short film produced in the mid-1970s, emerging from a period of experimental independent cinema that sought to push the boundaries of visual storytelling. It was conceived as a minimalist exploration of human emotion and non-verbal communication, created during a time when filmmakers were increasingly turning toward abstract imagery to capture psychological states rather than relying on traditional narrative structures.
The film was directed with a focus on stark, high-contrast cinematography, intentionally stripping away complex dialogue to force the audience to interpret subtle nuances in performance. While it did not receive a wide theatrical release, it circulated through university film programs and small-scale art house screenings, where it gained a reputation among critics for its disciplined aesthetic and its commitment to the pure visual language of the medium.
