Show notes

Sorry this episode is posting a little late this week, but we wanted to add a little extra no-dialogue silence to our discussion of Kaneto Shindo's similarly dialogue-free year-in-the-life of a family struggling to farm on a small isolated island. It's a quiet film, to be sure, but full of nuance, rich humanity, and humble beauty. If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise (1995).
