WOMAN OF THE DUNES
Japan 1964 (15) - 127 minutes Ipswich Film Theatre -
13 February 2006
- 7.30pm
When a scientist from the city misses his last bus home from the beach, the offer to stay at the nearby village is a welcome relief. He soon finds that local kindness comes at a high price. With crystalline images and unsettling soundtrack, this a powerful haunting insight into self-preservation instinct.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS:
Extraordinary. Full of imagery and metaphors;
A captivating and unusual film about freedom and captivity. A mobile phone might have been useful;
The sand must have played hell with the cameras;
It puts a whole new complexion on picnics on the beach and sand in the sandwiches;
Excellent cinematography, but singularly unpleasant theme, austere and gruelling. Looks good, but don't ask me to enjoy it.
