The post Kon Ichikawa – Shokei no heya AKA Punishment Room (1956) (HD) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A rarely seen but important 1965 work by Heinosuke Gosho.

Some remarks by Arthur Nolletti, in his book The Cinema of Gosho Heinosuke: Laughter Through Tears:

Gosho’s most critically acclaimed film of the 1960s… Ranked seventh in Kinema Jumpo’s “Best Ten” poll, it is rightly considered to be one of his most powerful works. Set on the Shimokita Peninsula in the northernmost area of Honshu, the film tells a stark and harrowing tale. Oshima Ayako (Yoshimura Jitsuko), a young woman in her teens, lives in a small, impoverished fishing village. Her father, Matsukichi (Yoshida Yoshio), is too ill to work. As a result, her mother, Kikuno (Sugai Kin), sells her to a nearby brothel. There she quickly is stripped of her innocence and illusions…

Based on Ogawa Hajime’s award-winning novel, Reiba no onna (A Woman in a Sacred Place), the film is set in the Osorezan, a desolate and gloomy wilderness that is one of the three most sacred places in Japan. Local folklore has it that the Osorezan is the entrance to the world of the dead…

An Innocent Witch is Gosho’s darkest work. Its unique mood is evident from the opening scene…Gosho uses widescreen boldly.
