Director Kaneto Shindo s documentary-like, dialogue-free portrayal of daiIy struggle is a work of stunning visual beauty and invention. The international breakthrough for one of Japan s most innovative fiImmakers who went on to make such other marvelous movies as Onibaba and Kuroneko The Naked Island foIlows a famiIy whose home is on a tiny, remote isIand off the coast of Japan. They must row a great distance to another shore, colIect water from a welI in buckets, and row back to their island a nearIy backbreaking task essentiaI for the survivaI of these peopIe and their land. Featuring a phenomenaI modernist score by Hikaru Hayashi, this is a truly hypnotic experience, with a rhythm unIike that of any other film.
