The old maxim that to live is to suffer finds its crystalline realisation in Shōhei Imamura’s decade-spanning portrait of a woman’s desperate will to survive, as she struggles through a century of social change and upheaval beset at every turn by poverty and tragedy. Screenings at ICA – Institute of Contemporary Arts on Saturday 31 October: 13:30 (The Lower Depths: The Cinema of Shohei Imamura).
