But yes, both The Insect Woman & this film are strong contenders for that slot. In my opinion, this movie remains important also because Imamura really found his voice & style that would define his subsequent works. Of course, the fact that he never before had the kind of independence as he enjoyed here could be the reason for that.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-26172426607407405252012-08-31T10:19:05.429+05:302012-08-31T10:19:05.429+05:30You push all theride buttons once again Shubhajit,...You push all theride buttons once again Shubhajit, with this marvelous capsule review of an essential work by a revered Japanese master. My favorite of his films is THE INSECT WOMAN, but this gem pushes close. Agreed that the use of music is striking and Nagato's performance is indeed superlative. The Criterion print is typically outstanding!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
