The titular island in this Japanese domestic drama is an agrarian flyspeck, almost completely cut off from contact with the mainland. Here the island's residents mechanically go through their everyday farming tasks. The film concentrates on a family of five, content with their existence despite its hardships. When the oldest son dies, it is the first of many devastating blows that nearly rip the family asunder. Originally titled Hadaka No Shima, the film was also released as Naked Island.

The original film is stunning, beautiful, and deep. The copy which I received, however, was of such low quality that we could not sit through it. It was as though someone had sat in a movie theater and video'd the screening on a high contrast and out-of-date film through a grade c video camera and then had it processed in a amateur lab by incompetent workers. Simply awful! If you can get a good copy it is well worth the effort, as this is justifiably a classic of modern Japanese film making.
