Pitfall Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An outstanding allegorical ghost story.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
There is something uneasy underlying the entire film, and watching it is not unlike stepping into a dream in which not everything makes perfect sense, but every detail commands your absolute attention.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Teshigahara's visual flair, evident in his sculptural use of wastelands and remarkable superimpositions, is matched by the singular assault of Takemitsu's unorthodox score.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Teshigahara's wide-swinging yet precise visual vocabulary jolts any hint of staginess into strange cinematic life
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Matt Bailey
One of the most successful teams in Japanese film was that of director Hiroshi Teshigahara, screenwriter Kobo Abe, composer Toru Takemitsu, and cinematographer Hiroshi Segawa.
