Description

[Machine Translation] A drama film by Shohei Imamura, director of "Unagi" (Eel), set on an isolated island in the South Seas, exposes the fundamental nature of human beings. A massive storm hits an island in Okinawa, where mythology is deeply rooted. While Negichi, who presides over a Shinto ritual, is punished by the islanders for being the cause of the disaster, an engineer from the mainland visits the island to conduct a preliminary survey of development work... Based on his own play, director Imamura finally completed this blockbuster under difficult conditions. The roots of Japan and the Japanese people are explored on a grand scale. New telecine, squeezed and newly mastered with a new print low contrast positive.
