Japanese Film: Woman in the Dunes (Teshigahara 1964)
Details
NOTE: We are not having a meeting up on July 3 because of the July 4 weekend.
Next up, Woman in the Dunes (1964) directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara. This will be a totally different movie from the others we've watched. It's considered to be one of the greatest movies ever made (but then, what isn't?) It's going to be interesting. I've read the book and it's hard to imagine how they make a movie out of it. Wikipedia says "one of the most ambiguous, cryptic, and enigmatic movies ever made."
The cool thing is, the main character is the actor from Hiroshima, Mon Amour, Eiji Okada.
Remember, watch the movie first, come ready to talk about it!
We will meet on Friday, July 10, 2026, at 8PM, at LEANING TOWER OF PIZZA at 24th Street and Lyndale, same as always. See you there!
