Ep. 2: Woman in the Dunes

Eiga Night

In this week’s episode, Chris and the returning Aruba wander the arid deserts of entrapment and identity with Hiroshi Teshigahara’s Woman in the Dunes (1964). They talk about the influential Japanese New Wave and Teshigahara’s place in it, the themes of identity and obligation within an uncaring society, whether or not this can be considered a love story, the crossover appeal of this important cult hit, and of course SAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDD!!!
