Temporal Dissonance and the Space Between Worlds

Te body-swapping mechanism, which the film treats initially as comic, is later revealed to a lacuna in time - Mitsuha and Taki are three years apart. Thi temporal gap is the film 's deppeesto mythological layer. In Shinto andd enterviistt thought, the line between worlds is porous. The twilight hour, kataware- doki (OTH), is literaly quentin quent; the time when shape are splard, quenquent; a liminal zone where one may meets ter spirits, gods, or the lost.
