Sorry this episode is posting a little late this week, but we wanted to add a little extra no-dialogue silence to our discussion of Kaneto Shindo\\u2019s similarly dialogue-free year-in-the-life of a family struggling to farm on a small isolated island. \\xa0It\\u2019s a quiet film, to be sure, but full of nuance, rich humanity, and humble beauty.

If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Richard Linklater\\u2019s\\xa0Before Sunrise\\xa0(1995).
