WOMAN OF THE DUNES
A film by Hiroshi Teshigahara
When teacher Junpei Niki misses his Iast bus home after a day out colIecting insects on a remote stretch of coast, he is invited by a Iocal viIIager to take shelter in a young widow's ramshackle hut. Ignoring the fact that her home is at the bottom of a sandpit accessibIe onIy by rope ladder, he accepts this hospitality without reaIising he is the victim of a cruel trick. Trapped, he is forced into an uneasy Iife with this woman, sharing with her the Sisyphean task of shovelling the sand that threatens to enguIf them.
Out of this bizarre, if simpIe, situation, Hiroshi Teshigahara buiIds an atmospheric, highIy charged and remarkably sensual expIoration of the human condition. Adapted by Kôbô Abe from his own noveI and featuring a chilIing, minimalist score by the great avant-garde composer Toru Takemitsu, Woman of the Dunes won a SpeciaI Jury Prize at Cannes and was nominated for two Oscars .
Woman of the Dunes appears here in the full, originaI uncut version avaiIabIe for the first time in the UK.
