Review of The Ballad of Narayama (1983) by Jan S — 13 Apr 2011
A folkloric, superstitious film about the "ubasute" myth (look in wiki) that is built with strong characterization and symbolic visual, displayed in documentary format (a tribute to the director's past works), making it one of the most remarkably successful efforts to triumph a tragic tale.
