Monday, December 16th. 9:30pm at Century! FREE! A master sculptor and his apprentice, Yosaku, seek out a mystical tree for carving a statue commissioned by a local temple. This angers the ghostly witch of the woods, who takes her revenge on the master but spares the student. Not long after, the beautiful Yuki appears in the village and falls in love with Yosaku. But through marriage and children, poverty and hardship, both Yuki and Yosaku must keep a dreadful secret… THE SNOW WOMAN is a somber and elegant kaidan, a traditional Japanese ghost story, about love, sacrifice, and compassion, shot with painterly compositions by Kurasawa and Mizoguchi understudy Tokuzo Tanaka, and featuring a haunting score by Akira Ifukube.
