Katzuo Nakamatsu is at sea after being forced out of his job as a literature professor without warning. He retreats into fl?nerie, musing with imaginary interlocutors, roaming the streets of Lima, and reciting the poems of Mart?n Ad?n. Slowly, to the ?steady beat of his reptile feet,? Nakamatsu arranges his quiet ceremony of farewell. With an electric lunacy, he spruces himself up with a pinstripe tie, tortoiseshell glasses, and wooden cane, taking on the costume of an old man he knew as a child, hoping to grasp that man?s tenacious Japanese identity. Like a logic puzzle, Enlightenment calibrates Augusto Higa Oshiro?s own entangled Japanese-Peruvian identity. Reminiscent of Kurasawa?s film Ikiru, Enlightenment emerges from a dark and labyrinthine mindscape, unraveling toward sublime disintegration.
