Woman in the Dunes/A,B+
One of the creepiest horror films ever made. A nightmare that repeats
itself endlessly until it becomes a reality. Black and white in Japanese
with subtitles. Absolutely essential viewing.
'Substandard performance is not permitted to exist; that I warn you.' Humphrey Bogart as Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny.
