The Tale about the unending cicle of Nature.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Narayama Bushi-Ko [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Directed by Keisuke Kinoshita in a Noh play atmosphere, Narayama Bushiko is an emotive film about a poor village and its' tradition to send the elderly to die at the nearby mountain of Narayama. It focuses the desire of a grandmother, who has secured descendence, to go up that mountain; and the reluctance of her son to carry her there. The film is brilliantly directed, with cinematic influences of Russian (particularly Eisenstein's) filmmaking: the dramatic expression on the actors faces, resembling moving pictures, the haunting music that sets the heavy tone to all of the movie... Over all, it's a great movie, sadly overshadowed by the 1983 Shoei Imamura's take on the same story and which won him the Palme d'Or. Personally, I prefer the Kinoshita original film.
