    Just a note, here, to remind me to talk about this later, when I "officially" write-up this movie: this movie is about the aimlessness and despair that plagues many women's lives here in the U.S. (and other places, and times, for that matter) but that we not only don't want to talk about, we don't even want to acknowledge. Why? I suspect our reticence (and obliviousness) is because still, still, today, in this still men-ruled world, women aren't really recognized as human, yet; we are relegated to the roles of unacknowledged robo-people, here to serve children and men. Even women who seem to have "accomplished", according to men (of course), are quick to point out if they are wives and mothers, as well, and how "successful" they are in pulling off this three or four pronged life stint, and quick to hide their lack of such roles. Can you believe we're still living under these overwhelming societal strictures???
    One last, hmmm, should I say "rant"? Of all the bylined reviews I was able to find about this movie (and there weren't that many), most were written by men. Take note of the rundown of critics and their reviews listed in Rotten Tomatoes: Wanda Reviews - All Critics.
    You might be thinking, "Well, good! Men need to see this film." I think, though, women need to see it, more. It is devastating to watch if you're a woman, especially a woman under the influence of U.S. culture, take it from me. Even if, as a woman, you can't relate to Wanda's specific journey in this movie, you'll find something about her womanhood (the real mise en scène of this movie) that will draw a gasp of recognition from you.
    And, of course, more women movie reviewers are needed. Good luck with that.
    In addition to the review of this film attached to the title of this post, check out Glenn Erickson's (DVD Savant) review of this film.

    This movie is a Japanification of Macbeth. It takes place in feudal Japan instead of Medieval Scotland. I considered including the Macbeth counterpart for each of the actors in the Table of Actors and Roles below, but after watching the movie, I realized it isn't necessary. Believe me, you'll get the gist of who's who, who's doing what to whom and why, when you watch it, even if you've never viewed any of the Western versions (and, they are legion) of this movie.
    Glenn Erickson, the author of the review attached to the title of this post, reviewed this film twice. The review attached to the title is the more inclusive review.

    This is one of many, many adaptations of Macbeth. The play has been so popular since the first time it was performed (this Wikipedia article speculates on when that first performance occurred) that, despite the numerous film adaptations, its stage productions likely still outnumber its many films. I, in fact, first saw a stage production of moments from this play when I was in college before I ever saw, or even knew about, any film productions of it.
    The reason I have added this particular production to my collection is that it is the first film production of this play that I ever saw and, as such, is the one that has stayed with me, despite the excellence of some of the other film productions, one of which I own and have watched at least a few times.
    Glenn Erickson, DVD Talk's Cinesavant has also written an interesting and informative review of this movie.
    

  Actor	Role	Actor	Role	Actor	Role	Actor	Role

  Diane Fletcher	Lady Macduff	Mark Dightam	Macduff's Son	Bernard Archard	Angus	Richard Pearson	Doctor

  
    Just a note of explanation: the cast for this movie is enormous. It made sense to me to only fit in well less than half of the actors in their respective roles. If your curious about anyone else in the cast (and, there are many) here's a link to complete cast details.

    I recently acquired this movie through one of those "I can't believe it" half off sales that Barnes & Noble occasionally launches. It was a movie on my Movies I've Seen, Do Not Own but Can't Forget list. Immediately below is what I said about my interest in this movie in that post.
    "For clarification, since there are several movies named 'Cure', or 'The Cure', this movie is the Japanese production written and directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa. This is a movie I haven't yet seen. In fact, I didn't even know of its existence until yesterday, 11/24/2021. It's a movie that was named as a favorite by Bong Joon-Ho (whose work I happen to be fascinated by, at the moment) in an interview that took place at a showing of Snowpiercer soon after it was released. [Yes, I know, I haven't really written up Snowpiercer yet, but that's because I watched it just yesterday, 11/24/2021, so, if you're interested, stay tuned.]
    "The premise, according to Bong Joon-Ho and the little information I've been able to glean about it, sounds intriguing, wildly mysterious and horrific, kind of like Midsommar; a type of horror movie right up my alley. I'm so curious about it. Maybe, during the holiday season, the one site at which I found it will drop the price for a bit, fingers crossed. I'm definitely going to check it out tomorrow.
    "Once again, I'm surprised that Criterion hasn't yet taken on the challenge of reproducing and distributing this movie. Although their editions are very pricey, this is one movie for which I'd be glad to pay, even at Criterion prices, especially because of their stellar treatment of movies on which they focus."
