Absolutely fascinating metaphorical trip into human unconscious.
Every time the hero was thrown away and caught by the giant hand, there is hand floating in the dark writing in the red book. As far as I can tell this is a direct reference to Carl Jung's 'The Red Book'.
The Red Book was Jung's journal (a corpus of unfinished texts that was never published during Jung's life) of self-exploratory reflections, where he described the visions that came from his unconscious during the most intense periods of self reflection. Jung believed this visions from his unconscious to be the foundation of his life's work and the most important piece of it. Everything else was mere elaborations and scientific classification of what he'd seen in this visions.
I'm not sure if most of the audience appreciates how many references to Jung's archetypes and direct quotes from his works are there in this series. It's a very impressive piece of work.
