Taking place on a small island situated in south-west Japan, The Naked Island tells the tale of a poor family struggling to make ends meet, when faced with the elements of a sometimes cruel nature. Day by day they perform the same difficult tasks, with little time to simply enjoy life.

Shindo takes us through four seasons, starting in the summer and finishing the following spring. This describes the repetitive cycle that befalls the small family living on Setonaikai. Their daily chores consist of fetching fresh water from the main island, making sure the children are taken to school, harvesting and any number of important jobs that they must carry out in order to get through a single day. The director illustrates these difficulties by prolonging several scenes during the course of the film; and rather than use dialogue he relies on the expressions of his actors to carry across a series of emotional events.

The Naked Island is a beautiful looking film, so beautiful in fact that it almost seems impossible that Shindo managed to capture the kinds of things that he did. His composition is astounding; showing off a busy foreground, while in the back we have the visual delights of the outer island and yonder. Little things like butterflies playing as if they know the camera is watching them, or fish desperately trying to escape from their line add so much more realism to an almost dreamy-like place.
