Sunna no Onna (Woman in the Dunes) Screening

On Tuesday March 8, OT301 will screen the 1964 Japanese Art -House film Woman in the Dunes.

Woman in the Dunes was for many the grand unveiling of the surreal, idiosyncratic worldview of Hiroshi Teshigahara. Eija Okada plays an amateur entomologist who has left Tokyo to study an unclassified species of beetle that resides in a remote, vast desert; when he misses his bus back to civilization, he is persuaded to spend the night in the home of a young widow who lives in a hut at the bottom of a sand dune. What results is one of cinema’s most bristling, unnerving, and palpably erotic battles of the sexes, as well as a nightmarish depiction of everyday Sisyphean struggle.

The screening costs 4 euros and the show starts at 20:30 hrs.
