Union Cinema

Forced to murder lost samurai and sell their belongings for grain, a mother and daughter-in-law dump the corpses down a deep, dark hole and live off of their meager spoils. Driven by primal emotions, dark eroticism, a frenzied score by Hikaru Hayashi, and stunning images both lyrical and macabre, Kaneto Shindo’s chilling folktale Onibaba is a singular cinematic experience.
