But is it sci-fi? I would be curious to hear what leads to you to regard the film as science fiction. This is one I've been meaning to dig up and watch again sometime soon. An excellent adaption of the rather fine novel as well.

Is it SF? Perhaps not in a simplistic sense. But I was put in that mood by the list of offerings here. Is Star Wars a SF? Hardly. What is so scientific about it? It was my impression that most films mentioned here would actually be better described as fantasies.I admit to not having read a sci-fi novel in decades, but I still recall the better ones of the day moving from the tech talk to philosoply, the human element. In that context I could easily see the Kobo Abe novel fit right in.
I recall actually being irritated by the novels like that, that would be included in the Sci-Fi libraries, as back then I was still firmly in the ray gun and space travel camp.
