Woman of the Dunes

Saturday 26th February 5pm

Synopsis

An entomologist wandering the dunes in search of specimens is persuaded by local villagers to spend the night in a young widow’s shack at the bottom of a pit. In the morning the ladder has gone and, like the woman, he is forced to shovel sand out of the ever-filling pit to survive.

Critics

“like a dream. . pulsing with eroticism and despair. . from which you awake bolt upright in a cold sweat”

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
