Warm Water Under a Red Bridge

Japanese master Shohei Imamura continues his fascination with people at the margins of society in his last feature film. He manages the impossible to mix fable with reality that awes. In this story an unemployed man with a nagging wife travels to another town to obtain a golden statue that could save him from further misery. Instead of material wealth, he finds a woman with a peculiar sexual problem that changes his life. Imamura's unique vision and treatment makes him unique in the world of cinema, even though his work is not for everyone to appreciate. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
