Woman in the Dunes

Suna no onna

(1964) Hiroshi Teshigahara



An amateur entomologist searching for insects by the sea is trapped by local villagers into living with a mysterious woman who spends almost all her time preventing her home from being swallowed up by advancing sand dunes. The woman and the trapped man begin a strange and erotic relationship that stretches over years, as the man's hope for escape dims.



A magnificent new rip from the Criterion Edition. Not mine, but must be shared. I need say no more.



I'll post some screens later...
