Review of The Ballad of Narayama (1983) by Matt H — 14 Jun 2015
A septuagenarian matriarch must be sacrificed to the mountain god as is tradition. But first, she must teach her widower son's new wife how to fish, get her second son laid, & kill her grandson's pregnant girlfriend for stealing food.
Life is definitely hard in this strange film full of death & sex & family dynamics. Think Woody Allen with Zen.
