Yet there is never a moment when the film doesn’t look absolutely realistic, and it isn’t about sand anyway, but about life. “Are you shoveling to survive, or surviving to shovel?” the man asks the woman, and who cannot ask the same question? “Woman in the Dunes” is a modern version of the myth of Sisyphus, the man condemned by the gods to spend eternity rolling a boulder to the top of a hill, only to see it roll back down.
