Review of Woman in the Dunes (1964) by Chuck S — 20 Mar 2011

I really enjoyed watching this film. The shots and overlays really add to the film style and storyline. The acting was great and compelling. Although the story is simple, with a minimal cast, it felt large and complex.

I was surprised that as a visual media, how much my imagination still contributed to my viewing experience. It is a welcome and pleasant change to much of the "force fed" films being made today.

Obviously this is not a film for everyone, as I know a lot of people who refuse to watch any foreign film. It is one that I recommend to anyone who likes classics, intelligent, mind-provoking, or art-house type films.
