	Kaneto Shindo
		Kaneto Shindo creates a visually distilled, minimalist, and understated, yet compelling and profoundly expressive portrait of human struggle, perseverance, and survival in Naked Island.
		Kaneto Shindo presents a harrowing and provocative examination of godlessness, amorality, and barbarism in Onibaba.
		Kaneto Shindo juxtaposes elemental and poetic natural imagery with the abstract, highly stylized expressionism of Noh theater to create an indelible aesthetic of visual dichotomy that exposes the underlying contradiction and hypocrisy of tolerated societal behavior.

	Cinemarati Blog » Kaneto Shindo’s Naked Island R2 DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		I received my copy of the DVD for Kaneto Shindo’s Naked Island that was released in the UK earlier this week, and for which I had written liner notes in the supplementary booklet.
		Kaneto Shindo is generally known to Western audiences for his psychological horror films, most notably Onibaba and Kuroneko (Black Cat from the Grove), but he has also forged an equally impressive career in documentary films and social dramas.
		At the heart of the argument is the recurring undercurrent of the nuclear holocaust and its aftermath that pervades much (if not all) of his work, from the themes of disfigurement to social isolation (Hiroshima and Nagasaki natives were often considered poor marital prospects because of the unknown toll of their nuclear exposure).

	Japanese Film Festival 2003
		Describing the film, Shindo wrote that he was trying to capture the life of human beings as he saw it, like ants struggling against the forces of nature.
		Shindo had come to the terms with the difficult reality that The Island was to be his last film
		Through the filmmaking experience of The Island, Shindo discovered “collective film production”, which is the method he has used to produce most of his movies during his 50 years as a filmmaker.

	Xploited Cinema - NAKED ISLAND (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Kaneto Shindo's Naked Island tells the story of a small family unit and their subsistence as the only inhabitants of an arid, sun-baked island.
		Filmed on the virtually deserted Setonaikai archipelago in south-east Japan, 'Naked Island' was made, in the words of its director, "as a cinematic poem to try and capture the life of human beings struggling like ants against the forces of nature".
		Kaneto Shindo, director of 'Onibaba' and 'Kuroneko', made the film with his own production company, Kindai Eiga Kyokai, who were facing financial ruin at the time.

	Onibaba - Criterion Collection
		A curse hangs over Kaneto Shindo's primal Japanese classic like a looming storm cloud, but the supernatural has got nothing on the desperation and savagery of the human animal trying to survive the horrors of war.
		In 16th-century Japan, a hardened middle-aged woman and her young daughter-in-law have turned predator to survive, murdering the soldiers who wander into the sea of pampas grass surrounding their hut and selling their weapons for rice.
		There is the original theatrical trailer, an interview with writer/director Kaneto Shindo, multiple essays in the liner notes as well as an English translation of the Buddhist fable which inspired the film.

	Onibaba - Criterion Collection
		Driven by primal emotions, dark eroticism, a frenzied score by Hikaru Hayashi, and stunning images both lyrical and macabre, Kaneto Shindo’s chilling folktale, Onibaba, is a singular cinematic experience.
		It is of note to hear Kaneto Shindô, the author, saying that this film was enjoyed by the public much more so than by critics of its time--1964.
		Filmed in color, it would not have nearly the same impact as the devil's face that leers at us in "Onibaba." Director Kaneto Shindo has utilized the full power of this ancient Japanese artifact, using its supernatural powers to show us the true face of a very human evil.

		A sinister mood pervades Kaneto Shindo's (The Island) chilling folk tale set in medieval Japan.
		Living by instinct alone, the women--a war widow and her mother-in-law--are locked in a murderous partnership until the younger woman begins an affair with her husband's friend.
		Shindo juxtaposes images of the couple's hungry embraces, with the older woman's frenzied attempts to come between them.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Onibaba: The Criterion Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Forced to live as murderous scavengers while the man of the house — the older woman's son and the younger's husband — is off fighting in an unspecified war, these women have established a strange, symbiotic relationship that suddenly is threatened when their shifty-eyed male neighbor, Hachi (Kei Sato), returns AWOL from battle.
		Obviously, Hachi prefers the more attractive younger woman, who is all too willing to reciprocate his lustful feelings; thus, immediately upsetting their relationship, which is further complicated by their continuing need for the other's assistance in maintaining their savage livelihood.
		Extras include a brand-new interview with the 93-year-old Kaneto Shindo (21 min.), a collection of super-8 footage shot on set by Kei Sata (37 min.), a gallery of production sketches and photos, an essay by critic Chuck Stephens, an English translation of the parable which inspired the picture, and a "Filmmaker's Statement" from Shindo.

		The eloquence is in the fidelity, the solidity and clarity with which Kaneto Shindohas embraced the rhythmic beauty of the landscape and the mountain-fringed waters of the bay and the rhythmic toil of his people [NYT, 1962]
		Japanese critics were, however, sometimes embarrassed by The Island, fearing that it might somehow be seen as an accurate picture of the daily lives of most Japanese.
		Yet in some ways, that appears to have been Shindo's intention: At the 1961 Moscow film festival he talked about the strong autobiographical element in The Island (which, after all, he wrote as well as directed), saying he wanted to pay homage to his parents with this film poem.

	Onibaba on DVD - MovieWeb
		From the mind of Kaneto Shindo comes ONIBABA, a haunting folk nightmare.In medieval Japan, a peasant woman and her daughter stay alive by murdering stray soldiers and selling their armor for food.
		A truly original film, Shindo's stark, erotic vision will stick in viewer's heads for days.
		"Shindo creates a truly creepy and intensely erotic atmosphere....Compellingly effective as pure entertainment, the film is also strikingly visual and driven by a propulsive, percussive soundtrack..."

	Amazon.ca: DVD: Onibaba (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Brimming with ambient dread and sensuality, director/ writer Kaneto Shindo's Onibaba masterfully evokes a world of grinding desperation, feral lust, and otherworldly menace.
		In a patch of tall swamp grass at the edge of a war, an old woman and her nubile daughter eke out a miserable existence of killing and scavenging.
		Yet, while Mizoguchi's characters remain self-effacing and self-sacrificing, Shindo's are aggressively sexual, brutally violent, and thoroughly amoral.

		The Eastern culture being so drastically different than the Western, it’s interesting to see a moral parable that is so foreign to our own set of inherent idealsthough there are some similarities here in terms of actions and consequences.
		From a technical aspect, director Kaneto Shindo has a gentle touch and an eye for moody atmosphere, which makes the movie more than just the sum of its parts.
		For extra features, we’re given a new video interview with Shindo about the film etc, some rare super-8 footage on location during the filming, a trailer for the film as well as a stills gallery with production sketches and promotional art.

		Kaneto Shindo's Kuroneko — released to great acclaim in 1968 — is a sparse, atmospheric horror story, ascribing to the director's philosophy of using beauty and purity to evoke emotion.
		Kuroneko remains a standout film of the kaidan eiga genre of period ghost stories often based on old legends or kabuki plays.
		Marking Shindo's first use of wire work as Yone and Shige battle against samurai blades, the film is subtly complimented by Kiyomi Kuroda's award-winning chiaroscuro cinematography, Hikaru Hayashi's vibrant score, and riveting performances from many of the greatest actors of Japan's Golden Age of film.
