'profound' film now available...

I couldn't disagree more with Mar cinema's critique--the only one on the site unfortunately.
Imamura studied the 'primitive' society of the island with the rigor of a professional anthropologist. What he reveals of tradition and industrial societies is profound, subtle and pertinant today.

See for yourself. A good quality double disk copy of this neglected but wonderful film is available, with English sub-titles. contact: [email protected]
