Now here is a film that turns up occasionally but doesn't get much of a mention. I was about seven years old and it was probably my first film experience. It certainly left a mark on me. I saw it in Chile so it was either dubbed or subtitled in Spanish but I do not recall nor did it matter much as it was really a visual experience and most of the scenes spoke for themselves.The fight with the spider was graphically terrifying and with an immensely satisfying end. I remember being disappointed that after such a happy and carefree opening scenes, lovely wife and happy home setting everything turned so sour. I wondered when would things get back to normal again. They never did and there didn't seem to be any conclusion at the end. Of course seeing it again recently I understood the fitting philosophical ending which makes this a very treasured gem.
