Description:

Quote

This "forgotten masterpiece," made a quarter-century ago and never received, remains a searing cinematic experience. It is a film about transgression and retribution, about nature revenging itself upon destructive modern man. At the same time, it is not about a lumberjack and his relationship with "nature," something more and more personified until made palpable at the horrific conclusion. Though it won a prize at the Locarno Festival, and made several foreign critics best-ten lists, the film was far too outspoken for bubble-era Japan. Though made by an enormously talented young director, written by one of Japan's major younger writers, and scored by Japan's finest composer, it offended local critics and failed to make money.
Written by Kenji Nakagami and Mitsuo Yanagimachi. Photographed by Masaki Tamura. Music by Toru Takemitsu.
