Kanto Shindo really wants to be called a master. It is simpler than the black cat, but the metaphors are more and more complicated. This is called the drama movie scene.

In 1960, Kanto Shindo's "Naked Island" came out. This "silent" film chose the simplest narrative mode, but brought the tension of audio-visual language to the extreme. For many fans, this is the best way to experience the aesthetics of Shindou Kanto's images. But for director Shindou Kanto himself,...
