Based on a novel by Nobel Prize-winning writer Yasunari Kawabata, Snow Country tells the story of Shimamura, an artist who is returning to Tokyo from a sojourn to a hot-springs resort. He looks forlorn as he rides on a train and is lost in his thoughts. As he peers out the window at the snowy mountains, he visualizes a woman. She is Komako, a pretty young geisha he had met at the resort and with whom he has fallen in love. Komako is sweet and sensuous and Shimamura cannot get her out of his mind. However, his romantic idyll is certain to lead to complications.
What makes the film so interesting is that not all of the characters complex emotions are expressed verbally. Director Shiro Toyoda does a brilliant job of depicting their feelings via stark and evocative imagery.
