Woman of the Dunes

Acclaimed drama, following a travelling man offered shelter by strangers, who allow him to stay in a strange house at the bottom of a sandpit. However, when he wakes the next morning, he learns they intend to keep him prisoner there, along with a woman who's trying to locate a water supply in the arid environment. Hiroshi Teshigahara's fascinating offering is an almost sensual experience, chronicling the burgeoning relationship between the incarcerated pair. Eiji Okada, Kyoko Kishida and Koji Mitsui star
