A true landmark of Japanese cinema, The Naked Island is the tale of a family of poor farmers struggling for existence on a nearly deserted archipelago in southwest Japan. Shindo strips the film down to its bare essentials; there is no spoken dialogue, the plot is minimal, and it is all captured with striking black-and-white cinematography.
