Plot:	Includes the following three films by Hiroshi Teshigahara on 3 discs: the existential ghost story "Pitfall", the shocking erotic fable "Woman In The Dunes", and the sci-fi-tinged nightmare "The Face Of Another".
Overview:	One of the most acclaimed Japanese directors of all time, Hiroshi Teshigahara distinguished himself in the sixties with a series of sinuous, atmospheric, and daring films. Teshigahara found his spiritual partner in novelist and screenwriter Kobo Abe, with whom he collaborated on these Kafkaesque portraits of identities in peril, films that captivated mainstream audiences while also touching the edges of the Japanese avant-garde. The existential ghost story Pitfall (Otoshiana), the shocking, erotic fable Woman in the Dunes (Sunna no onna), and the sci-fi–tinged nightmare The Face of Another (Tanin no kao) are among cinema's enduring enigmas and rarest pleasures.
