"This is one of the most visual books I've ever read. I just felt as if I was witnessing every scene firsthand, and my imagination was painting the most colorful pictures of North Africa, the cafés and the desert. I remember that when I read it, I was completely taken away from my life. Actually, I think this was one of the books Ethan [Hawke] gave me."

Once again, Aoléon and Gilbert are on the run again. They need Bizwat to help. They want to save Aoléon's parents. They seem to escape the from a soldierbot. There seem to be quite a few things going on at Mars and planet Earth.

What a mission they go about. Their spaceship get blistered and they land somewhere in Mars desert. The pictures are wonderful. They are down well as of again. This book is wonderul more action paced then anything.

How will they survive the desert? Will make it to their destination and save Aoléon parents. They do meet an old man. I wonder what he wanted. Is book goes more into Invasion on Earth. We also see the President of the United States again and his company in a meeting. What could they want? Will they case a war or will they sit back and wait.

"Simon of the Desert utilizes austere staging to create a particular mood and feel, and so, too, does Woman in the Dunes. Except here we have traded in the desert for the dune, and it is even bleaker, as a young man literally climbs into an existential nightmare from which there seems to be no escape. Just as contrast plays an important role in Japanese kabuki theater and Butoh dance and is used to great effect by photographers like Daido Moriyama and Eikoh Hosoe, postwar Japanese filmmakers seem to have a heightened sensitivity to the power of darkness and light as well. The role of shadow here really helps convey a feeling of claustrophobia and helplessness, which seems to be a key aim of the film. All of that being said, it is a very beautiful and enigmatic film and well worth an attentive watch."
