Movie Reviews of The Woman on the Beach ( Una Mujer en la playa ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Spain ]

Movie Review: Obsecure? Maybe. But it is more than worthwhile.
Summary: 5 Stars

THE WOMAN ON THE BEACH is generally regarded as one of the great film master Jean Renoir's lesser works. Because it is somewhat obscrure in development of the story line and the characters. Renoir tried to say something worthwile but at first glance, it might be hard for the viewers to receive clear message from the film.

However, significance of this film lies on that particular difficulty. The cinema was meant to be complex and puzzling. Due to its sophisticated complexity, THE WOMAN ON THE BEACH quite frequently makes us think and feel about our real self. Three main characters are all obsessed with fear one way or another, but in the same time, they are trying to get out from their obssession and struggle to seek truth of themselves.

You may wonder how three main characters managed to accomplish this serious task within little running time as 71 minutes, but by the end, they managed to overcome their problems rather convincingly. Thanks to strong characterizations by three leads(Joan Bennett, Robert Ryan, and Charles Bickford) and sensible direction from Jean Renoir.

I would rank THE WOMAN ON THE BEACH as the Renoir's hidden masterpiece. It is quite intelligent, powerful, experimental, and totally memorable.
