Peasant potter (Masayuki Mori) and brother-in-law (Eitaro Ozawa) yield to carnal temptations in the city, whereupon their wives are punished for their husbands' sins. |
Reviewed by Chris Tookey
|
| This beautiful, enigmatic, grindingly slow film made a big impression in the 50s; and many critics continue to regard it as a masterpiece. Its feminist theme (that women suffer through trying to indulge their menfolk) is unusual for its time and country of origin. Oscar -nominated for Best Costume Design (Tadaoto Kainoscho). | |
