A little take on "Woman in the Dunes"
The elusive and eerie soundtrack; the rough and gritty images; and the almost silent film-like shooting method.
Everything revolves around "sand". People like water. It can be soft or hard, but few people like sand. Japan is probably a country that likes gravel very much. It can be seen from the "dry landscape" that uses sand instead of running water. One sand, one world, one leaf, one bodhi. The fluidity, lightness, and plasticity of sand are indeed an art.

1. Break away from city life and return to the simplest form of life: endless sand shoveling, Sisyphus-style asceticism.
2. After watching the director's two works, the depictions of female characters are all well-intentioned, admitting their power, but they are all symbolic and idealized, and they are also willing to play vassal roles that take care of men. In the movie, women not only have to work in the fields, but also manage the housework. This can be regarded as restoring the...

1. A person who was originally free will be particularly sensitive when his freedom is restricted, but after being imprisoned, his five senses are lost, and the concept of freedom begins to blur, so in the end he thinks he can go out if he wants to, and the sand dune he is in is more important. Tell the people in the dunes about the principle of the pump, but forget what you...

The Unexplainable Existentialism of the Lady of Sand
1. This is not an "erotic" movie, and the two protagonists did not act impulsively because of the burning passion. There's not much pornography in it either.
In the end, the two did not show a strong nostalgia like a lover, but a nostalgia like a family. The whole story is more polite to each other.
2. I began to think that the effect of confinement in this sand pit cannot be perfect. As long as the male protagonist insists on digging, he will definitely be able to dig a slope or...
