Eric is back again, and the guys are digging into Japanese film again, continuing their look at two classics by the great Shōhei Imamura: The Insect Woman and History of Postwar Japan as Told by a Bar Hostess.
Both films are fascinating portraits of Imamura's favorite topics: Japan as a member of the underclass, and as a woman, as the country went through massive change.
The guys dig deep into the transformations in society, and how change deeply affects - and doesn't affect - these women who just survive. Sometimes like insects.
