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...

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...

I saw this movie as a masterpiece of Japanese avant-garde movies in the 1960s. It's a story about an entomologist who goes on a field trip and stays in a single widow's house and gets trapped in a small village, constantly trying to escape back to Tokyo.

At the beginning, entomologists found the...

I thought I was going to see a strange urban story, but I didn't expect it to be a modern urban fable.

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,...

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....

Narrative: The male protagonist walks into the sand in search of insects and seeks to escape from urban life, and the local residents take him to stay with the female protagonist. During the meal, we talked about the wetness of the sand, and the hostess shoveled the sand at night. When he woke up...

The history of Goo Ge, which is graceful in the mind and in the cramped environment of the outside world, focuses on the alienation of modern people and even the social problems of isolation. It seems more like an allegory with an oriental Kafkaesque theme, adding metaphysical philosophical...

A few years ago, the first time I saw this movie, I classified it as a forbidden room series, with the theme of freedom and imprisonment. Looking at it now, I find that the depth and breadth of the expression of this film is far more than that. The movie has not changed, what has changed is the...

I am very frank to say that before watching it, I was holding a curious mentality. Conjectures are stories of captivity, perversion, Stockholm syndrome, stories of total madness. The film is quite different from the imagination, but also very similar. The basic conclusion is what I guessed, the...

The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by the Japanese writer Abe Kobo. It tells the story of a male teacher who went to the sand dunes to collect insect specimens and was tricked into living in an ant-like sand cave and living with a widow. A biology teacher (played by Okada Eiji) is...
