Rate: Woman in the Dunes

8/10 -- I mention this because it's different, and because I never see it mentioned.. It was just on TCM, I recorded it because of the 93% rating. A little long towards the end, it gets redundant, hence, the 8.

Love that Bitch in the Dunes 9/10

Do you know any movies in the same ballpark of good quality?

Was a favorite back in the day but haven't watched it forever. Back then I would have given it though.

How do you mean?

I still haven't seen it yet, but Teshigahara made another film called The Face of Another that's supposed to be really good.

Movies similar, with quality.

That's tough because I think it's a very unique movie. I tend to lump it in with other Japanese classics but that doesn't necessarily mean that they're similar types of movies.

I saw it some ten years ago and I remember I was intrigued by this film. 9 out of 10 for me. Your thread reminds me I should re-watch it.

8/10 very good film.

I can't think of anything exactly similar as it's very unique and metaphorical. Onibaba shares some traits with it I suppose.

Recently bumped the rating to
