It should be noted that this story took place in the middle of the 19th century. Western Europe had already undergone the industrial revolution, and Romania still lived a medieval life. The form of black and white road films presented the appearance of Romanian society at that time, accumulating several Centuries of national grievances, different classes have completely different views on foreigners, or a gypsy slave living as miserable as a beast, this film has too many details worth...

nice! At a glance, it outlines the natural landscape, social features and class divisions of the entire Eastern Europe. The sense of history is super strong, and there is absolutely no trace of descendants in the dirty and barbaric plot. Dialogue and self-talk are heavily weighted, and the dialogue is almost perversely...

The Berlin Silver Bear winner tells a Pasolini-like story in retro cinematic form that is very exotic. The stop-motion panorama is reminiscent of "Nie Yinniang" at this year's Cannes Best Director Award. Two knights, old and young, find escaped slaves as clues to reveal the class and racial issues of Romanian society around the Middle Ages. The law is but a vassal of the mighty. Plaything in the hands of the...

Radu Jude's first work that really caught the attention of the film industry. The black-and-white road film with historical costume theme is different from the Romanian New Wave works of the same period, but it focuses on the historical stories of the 19th century. This creative idea of ​​mining black history has been extended to many subsequent works. With the help of road films and the shell of the pursuit type, it tells the ignorant and chaotic social atmosphere in that era: the law...

There is no way for the weak to return to the weaker. The slave who handed the scissors to the "honorable master" is about to be lynched and desperately flees. He is caught by someone who is also a slave. Let's go home. Finally, the close-up of the father and son's heads crossed from the foreground to the rabble watching the farce in the street. There is also a shot of two horses walking from the big foreground to the foreground. A bit of a violent...

There are a lot of words, and I am a little anxious. In fact, the power of images alone is already very...

The road movie is better than the scenery, although it is black and white, some of the language is also very funny. Through a pair of police father and son, it shows the race, class and religion in the feudal...

The use of black-and-white images and long shots has a sense of historical vicissitudes and heaviness, but it is easier than I thought. The story along the way is a bit adventurous, but I am not familiar with the past in Europe, and I am not familiar with Romania. History, so digesting the things in it is particularly difficult. It must be admitted that the whole movie is too distracting, only the last scene is very impressive. The last shot I thought of "Assassin Nie...
