This is the uncut version of one of the great Japanese classics of the 60s, Hiroshi Teshigahara’s fable Woman of the Dunes (based on the novel by existentialist writer Kobo Abe), remains as mystifying, serene and provoking as when it was first released. It is a work of great visual  inventiveness and beauty featuring startling high-contrast black and white photography from Hiroshi Segawa and a minimalist score by Toru Takemitsu.
