Symbol (しんぼる, Shinboru) is a 2009 Japanese surrealist comedy film directed and starring by Hitoshi Matsumoto.

The film was greeted negatively by Japanese audiences; however, it received a surprisingly warmer reaction in the West, despite not being commercialized outside Japan.

The first takes place in Mexico and centers around a masked wrestler called Escargot Man and his family as they prepare for a match that night.

In the second, more surreal storyline, a Japanese man wakes up in an empty white room with no apparent ceiling from which he struggles to escape.

Matsumoto not only wrote the script and directed the film, he also stars as the man trapped in the white room.
