I was curious about the trailer I saw at the movie theater, so I went to see the movie "WANDA" without knowing anything else about it, and I was surprised to learn that it was a movie from the 70s. I didn't feel any "oldness" at all. Barbara Loden, who not only starred in but also directed and wrote the film, left behind a historical masterpiece that has been highly regarded since her death. -

I was not planning to watch the movie "Inu-Oh" directed by Yuasa Masaaki, and had zero expectations and almost no prior information.
