Sinopsis:
- Peripecias de una mujer campesina, su trabajo en el campo, la experiencia devastadora de la guerra y la lucha por sobrevivir en la posguerra.
Imamura's episodic Insect Woman is justly one of his most famous works, and one his finest meditations on the means of survival in an often brutal, unforgiving world. Sachiko Hidari plays Tome, whose life is examined with an unjudging eye throughout her beginnings as a poor country girl through an arc which brings her to the city, relative success and a cyclical spiral back again. Refraining from the use of any melodramatic or other genre devices, Imamura's film is almost reportedly in its stance, yet without the cold detachment such a gambit would yield in the hands of a lesser filmmaker. Tome is both heroine and villain, not fixed to a trajectory of narrative cinema's needs, but reflecting the shading and improbability of the never ending struggle between survival and living.
En Cine Archivo se escribió:Tome nace en el Japón rural en un invierno de 1918. La pobreza marca su existencia y su padre, Chuji, un hombre con un considerable retraso mental, es quien se encarga de cuidarla. Entre ambos surge una relación con apuntes incestuosos que permanecerá latente durante todo un relato que gira alrededor del papel de la mujer en un país que, tras la dolorosa derrota en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, deberá enfrentarse a los retos de la vida moderna.
AMG SYNOPSIS: The Insect Woman covers 45 years in the life of long-suffering Japanese woman Tome Matsuki, played brilliantly by Sachiko Hidari. Thrust into the cold world at age 20, the pregnant Tome takes a factory job. She gives this up for the relative comfort of the life of an American GI's mistress. Once her American benefactor heads home, she seeks shelter in a house of prostitution, eventually becoming the Madam. Late in life, she is introduced to the daughter she'd abandoned years earlier, whose life has followed pretty much the same path as her mother's had. The winner of 14 Japanese film awards, The Insect Woman details the decline of cultural values as mirrored by one single misspent life. -- Hal Erickson
AMG REVIEW: Ribald, brilliant, and barbed, Insect Woman is arguably Shohei Imamura's finest work and a savagely funny satire of Japanese society. Anticipating Rainer Werner Fassbinder's The Marriage of Maria Braun (1979), the film depicts the post-war recovery of an axis power through the experiences of a single indomitable woman. Tome is forced from her small farming village into Tokyo's corrupt underworld, where she becomes a prostitute. Yet Tome is no mere victim of society -- she eventually becomes a madam, victimizing other young women -- and Insect Woman is no conventional morality tale. At the film's outset, Imamura vividly portrays the un-self-conscious sexuality that Tome exudes in her extended, quasi-incestuous family. Only when she barters that sexuality in the crass commercial world of the city does she take on the whiff of decadence and corruption. Literally titled Japanese Entomology, the film can be read as a metaphor of post-war Japan, not only prostituting itself to the US (many of Tome's clients are GIs fresh from the Korean War) but also prostituting its own spirit for economic gain. Political allegories aside, Insect Woman is a wonderfully vibrant, surprisingly funny portrait of a trademark Imamura creation: a thoroughly amoral woman who endures in spite of poverty, rape, and exploitation. -- Jonathan Crow
