23. Onibaba (1964)


Country : Japan
Directed by Kaneto Shindo

Raw, weird, poetic, directed in some wild natural locations and having as a main theme the human condition as a part of this wildness , Onibaba is a movie that you can't easily forget. Some times may look a bit out of date or not convincing as a horror movie, but there are too many things to appreciate on the film: the white and black photography, the music, the almost violent erotism. Years passed since I watched the film but still the field with the reeds, the river, the huts , the wind that blows in the landscape when the light is fading, still are fresh in my memory
