A Story Written with Water, 1965 - ★★★★½

An unholy mashup of Ozu and Bergman, that is sick, more than a little kinky, deeply disturbing and utterly compelling.

As it turns out having a nuclear bomb dropped on your society after losing a major war - inflicted some serious societal trauma.

It’s incredibly shot and the performances are immediate and visceral.

(Maybe the worst random shelf pick ever to pull on Mother’s Day)
