The Profound Desire of the Gods

1968
Directed by Shohei Imamura

Cast

Rentaro Mikuni Choichiro Kawarasaki Hideko Okiyama

Plot

A tale of life on a remote island.

Sinekatalog’s take

Shohei Imamura's epic of a remote island, where an engineer arrives and finds a world of ritual, incest and dams, is raw and strange. Dense with myth and sharp on modernity, it is a hard film to forget.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
