A masterpiece. Un chef d'oeuvre "Woman in the Dunes (砂の女, Suna no onna?, also translated as Woman of the Dunes) is a novel by Kobo Abe and a film based on the novel directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara. The novel was published in 1962, and the film was released in 1964. Kobo Abe also wrote the screenplay for the film version. The surreal and, at times, absurd nature of Woman in the Dunes has been compared to existentialist works such as Sartre's No Exit and Beckett's Happy Days. Aside from its intriguing premise, this film is notable for the life that Teshigahara brings to the ever shifting sand, which almost becomes a character in its own right. The film adaptation of Woman in the Dunes won the Special Jury Prize at the 1964 Cannes film festival and, somewhat unusually for an avant-garde film, was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in the same year"

kardios - I understood it as she couldnt leave, but she accepted that, and she didnt have a problem with it. And she knew that in order to have a rewarding life (even in a meaningless world) one needed to share it with somebody else. And in the end the man also comes to the same realization, and stops trying to escape, and they live happily ever after, even though their existence is really meaningless, because the sand never stops coming. - Jack

she doesn't want a modern man. otherwise she would had left the place long ago... sure she's alienated and its more about sex and lack of love...

I'm reading this novel right now. It's great. I don't wanna get spoiled with the movie yet so I'm just taking a glimpse at this. Just fascinating.

NatureIsNotHuman - your comment, "She is the poor, alienated, hungry for love soul of the modern man.", I can see that now. A materpiece, for sure. Thanks - Jack

She is the poor, alienated, hungry for love soul of the modern man. The horror comes from the state in which not he has her, but she has got him and entrapped him. Great great novel and great movie, really a masterpiece.

I love this film - the sand never stops coming. A truly great film - but I never got the love story stuff, to me it's a horror story - a big time horror story.
