The CinePearl Take
The Insect Woman is a classic-era Japanese film in the drama mould — expect grounded performances and personal stakes. Shohei Imamura directs and the script comes from Shohei Imamura. Sachiko Hidari and Masumi Harukawa are among the leads. Made in Japan, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Japanese-language films. Released in 1963, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 123 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
