This month we will screen Shohei Imamura’s portrait of a poor woman’s life in rural early-20th-century Japan. Spanning several decades, we see Tomé, the film’s heroine, survive much social change, abuse, and setbacks as she tries to make something of her life.
Please join us for The Insect Woman (にっぽん昆虫記, Nippon Konchūki), and our post-film discussion!

Please arrive on time so we can start on time! It’s okay to show up a little bit early if you like.
We’ll use our projector and screen for watching the film. All films are in Japanese with English subtitles. This is a free event, but we ask for donations for food and tea. Hope to see you there!
