Simpsons jokes and expectations of foreign film exoticism notwithstanding, Shindo Kaneto’s 1960 film The Naked Island has arrived on Blu-ray by way of the Criterion Collection (spine #811). Shindo’s follow-up to that film, Onibaba, remains one of my favourite movies from the Criterion label, so I was eager to check out this title – which parallels, and also departs from, his other work in unique ways.
