There is much more to this film than just its stunning black and white photography and its beautiful images of dunes merging with the sky and of bodies melting in an embrace of sand and heat. Woman of the Dunes is the journey of a man (but it could be all of us) towards understanding and fulfillment. A magnificent look at how modern society is eroding the beauty that exists in even the smallest aspects of life.
