VHS Movie Reviews of Ermo
Movie Review: A misunderstood film
Summary: 5 Stars
To really appreciate the subtle mastery of this film, a working knowledge of Taoist thought is helpful. The idea that our lives become polluted and complicated by desire and not understanding our "inner nature" puts it in the proper perspective. In this light, technology is questionable (consider the menchanical noodle maker that destroys a man's hand, and the subsequent failure of the truck to get him to a hospital), and economic "progress" creates an unwholesome society (Ermo experiences life in the impersonal city). So the film really sticks it to the complications created by the shift to consumerism.
It's also a magnificent character study w/ the title character. Her ambition and intense pride make this a tragedy in the Aristotelian sense. This is certainly not "hilarious" as the cover quote promises!
