A masterpiece. Un chef d'oeuvre "Woman in the Dunes (砂の女, Suna no onna?, also translated as Woman of the Dunes) is a novel by Kobo Abe and a film based on the novel directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara. The novel was published in 1962, and the film was released in 1964. Kobo Abe also wrote the screenplay for the film version.
The surreal and, at times, absurd nature of Woman in the Dunes has been compared to existentialist works such as Sartre's No Exit and Beckett's Happy Days. Aside from its intriguing premise, this film is notable for the life that Teshigahara brings to the ever shifting sand, which almost becomes a character in its own right. The film adaptation of Woman in the Dunes won the Special Jury Prize at the 1964 Cannes film festival and, somewhat unusually for an avant-garde film, was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in the same year"

This is for me one of the best films, until they make cien anos de soledad into film.People always try to involve reason into sureallist art and don't just enjoy it.'If they're afraid of the sand, tackle it scientifically".And he stays.
I think one of the things that is great about this film is that it can be interpreted in many different ways. The way I see this scene is that these two human beings are reduced to a basic and purely human state. When you strip away all the trifle attachments that come along with modernity, the way we identify ourselves by our profession, our class, our clothes, our ideology, ect, all you haver are two human beings who succumb to the most natural of biological instincts.
kardios - I understood it as she couldnt leave, but she accepted that, and she didnt have a problem with it. And she knew that in order to have a rewarding life (even in a meaningless world) one needed to share it with somebody else. And in the end the man also comes to the same realization, and stops trying to escape, and they live happily ever after, even though their existence is really meaningless, because the sand never stops coming. - Jack
