ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami tells the story of a portrait painter who, after being left by his wife, moves into a remote house owned by a famous artist. He discovers a hidden painting titled Killing Commendatore, which leads to a series of bizarre events. The painter encounters a mysterious neighbor, Mr. Menshiki, and is commissioned to paint his portrait. The narrative explores themes of art, identity, and the blurring lines between reality and the fantastical. The protagonist also experiences strange occurrences including a ringing bell, a hidden pit, and the appearance of a two-foot tall Commendatore. These events lead to a journey of self-discovery as the painter navigates a complex web of secrets and hidden truths.
