An Ode to the Earthworm

1982 · 80 min Drama

After appearing in independent films by Matsui Yoshihiko and Ishii Sogo, Sano directed this independent film himself. Although this is his first film as a director, he has already established his own style of acting by playing the role of the main character, a young man with a lonely life and a gun in his hand. The film was selected for the Pia Film Festival in 1983 and was exhibited at the Edinburgh Film Festival, Antwerp Film Festival, and other film festivals overseas. This is the origin of Sano's hard and sad films.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

An Ode to the Earthworm is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1982. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
