Riveting and an absolute aural/visual treat. I watched it based on Irish's review and I am glad I watched it. I found the expressions and dialogue delivery very dramatic and not natural. I found something similar to this in Rashomon, where the characters laugh in a very weird dramatic way. It looks like a japanese thing. This was made in 1964 and is a BW film. The extent of nudity is somewhat surprsing. I had no idea that japan was such an open society in 1964!
