StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I Recommend THIS Movie #1349 [Woman in the Dunes (1964) Winner: hownos]


I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.

For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.

Helpful search engine: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ Click on Feature Film and TV Movie. Then modify for the hints as they are posted.

- After 12 hints and 15 incorrect guesses, the point goes to the OP. He/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint. No documentaries.

Hownos wins with Woman in the Dunes (1964). An entomologist from Tokyo ventures into a rural area of western Japan in search of a particular insect, and one day finds himself trapped in a sand pit by local villagers who have essentially made him their slave. He lives in a shack in the pit with a woman who has already accepted her fate, and has to decide whether to resist and attempt to escape or resign himself to spending the rest of his life with the woman in the sand.
