A landmark of Japanese cinema, The Naked Island depicts a family of poor farmers struggling for existence on a nearly deserted archipelago in southwest Japan.

Recalling the windswept landscape inhabited by the family, Shindo has stripped his film to the bare essentials: no spoken dialogue, little plot, and bracing black-and-white cinematography. (94 mins., 35mm)
