here is my Japanese dvd collection list, might be of interest? www.imdb.com/list/ls069871117/
have you seen Kaneto Shindo's multi faceted masterwork Onibaba (1964) ?
A dark fable of a sub-proletariat mother and daughter, who subsist and survive within and under cover of swamp grass by stalking and murdering desperate lost samurai, in order to sell their arms and armour.
The mother and the daughter-in-law, Shindo explains... "They are people totally abandoned, outside society's political protection. Among these outcasts I wanted to capture their immense energy for survival"
"the tall, swaying reeds are my symbol of the world, the society which surrounds people... the world in which these commoners live and to which the eyes of lords and politicians do not reach"
Do love Onibaba, possibly in my all time Top 10.
