Directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

Experimental Japanese film set in an insane asylum. The main character is a middle-aged man, revealed to be a janitor in the final scene, whose wife is an inmate. Confusing flashbacks suggest she attempted to drown her baby. The man gets keys to her cell and attempts to get her out of the asylum, but she resists. It's an emotionally cold and nearly plotless exercise in technically virtuosic editing and camera gimmickry.
