Review of Woman in the Dunes (1964) by Hossein N — 29 Dec 2010
Dec 2010 - This was a masterpiece. A nearly abstract portrayal of a relationship that realistically and at the same time symbolically shows a love, a marriage, a relation between a prisoner and the guard, a man and a woman and so many others.
The images are nearly perfect and the poetry is so striking. Then it is amazing that how attractive the movie remains in its entirety. We follow these characters, feel with them and for them and we learn how to reach the same levels of emotions and reasoning.
The people of village are so vivid. The scene where they show up with their masks and ask the couple to make love in front of them is one of the best scenes that I have ever seen in a movie and it is so touching, believable and beautiful that it is hard to find a competition for that.
