In the extraordinary happy world created by director Imamura Shōhei, the two protagonists have had a bleak and bleak encounter. The real enjoyment of this movie is to see how they slowly unload their psychological layers of defense
.
"うなぎ" fully interprets the theme of "the lower part of the human body and the bottom of society", and also brings to the extreme the deep euphemism and coldness peculiar to Imamura Shōhei's film language. Compared with the themes of Imamura Shōhei's previous movies, it is very calm and fatal, showing the sentiment and transcendence of life
.
"うなぎ" embodies the distinctive characteristics of existentialism. The film shows the whole process of individual life constantly resisting the plight and heading towards self-salvation. At the same time, the narrative technique of realism and dream interweaves this process to get a more vivid and eye-catching visual interpretation. With the help of the film "うなぎ", Imamura Shōhei not only powerfully portrays the national character of Japan, but also tries to provide a way of salvation for all people who are in confusion and panic
