    Green, especially dark green, is the color of night. At night, some people struggled to sleep, some people were confused, and some people were manic and restless. In the stormy and stormy night, some people began to feel uneasy day and night from then on, and they couldn't regret it. With his extremely stylized images, Karaxyan tells everyone that the new wave will never end, and that he is driving his own new wave with his own unique style. How does this film compare to "La La Land"? More...

    It is more like a murmur-style chanting, removing the shell of entertainment, and turning to aria; stripping away the turbulent emotions, turning to self-reporting, self-discrimination, self-deception, and self-examination—of course it is not pleasant, and the voice of the dark side is never intended to please the ears. For whom, it can stimulate instinctive body tremors. They parted ways from the beginning, Henry was racing on a dangerous motorcycle (actively killed), Ann fell asleep in a safe...

    In essence, it is a competition between the director and the audience for stage sovereignty. "Stop bowing!" Ann's death is a seizure of power, the murder of Conductor is a repression, and Annette's self-consciousness is the restoration of the audience. Regarding the film medium, Karax is caught in the paradox of whether to manipulate the audience or to be stared at by the audience - tired of surrendering to the audience, so he tries to dictatorship on the stage; however, if the audience does...

    Dumont returned to the rough and primitive countryside to set the scene, while Karax raised the curtain of the theater and opened it to the whole world. There was no need for a car dealership to run holy, and the sound was a never-ending rhythm. It seems to be advancing towards the hinterland of truth in a roundabout way, invoking the siren, and asking the abyss to make an impossible answer to human beings. When the infinitely open stage is finally closed in a small prison ("QUIET!"), the...

    92/100, like "Sacred Car Dealer", once again asked in a very ceremonial way whether you would like to participate in this vast trap-like performance, but the former focuses on the interpretation (watching the performed interpretation), while the film It focuses more on watching (watching being interpreted) - being dominated and slaughtered, mysterious fragments weave a longing image in the dark, so you can see the imprints of all Carax's previous works, and even the inscriptions in the history...

    What the hell is this? It was made into a song and dance because Karax's narrative was not good, but can anyone make a song and dance? The pattern of singing and dancing requires directors to be bigger than commercial films. Casting is also a mess, the two leading roles don't match at all, the most terrible thing is that adam driver can't...

    In a bimodal film, just as the red room is an interdimensional stage, Annette itself is a stage full of electricity (lights), and the ghostly shadows indicate the presence of the creator/viewer. Also, Henry's character is Bob-like (the driver looks more and more like him), a demon that roams the city's highways, shaped by the violence of sex and murder. Carax is so obsessed with speed, and dramatizes the state of the superficial characters, negating the linear relationship between the...

    An Edgar Allan Poe story, but more important than the psychological factor is the twitching of the body: hands, feet, mouth, nose, ears, throat, esophagus, sweat glands, lungs... Jokes don't work once they're dismissed as negative. No matter how funny, or that laughter has been replaced by something else - laughter always affirms itself. As for the sound? Your voice is never your...

    What Karax stabs is a small paradox in cinema, which is that cinema tries to immerse us (especially in Hollywood) but we cannot ignore the existence of the performance itself. For example, François and Edict Kawara have filmed disfigured faces in "Eyes Without Faces" and "The Face of Others", but disfigured characters still need to wear a mask or a mask even if they are alone at home. Bandage. Because the audience is sitting behind the camera. In the Hollywood days of "Hays Code", couples in...

    +, it seems to be another discussion about the intersubjectivity of actors and audiences: talk show actors kill audiences, but always rely on them to survive, singers save audiences, but die again and again on the stage... The stage as a A chaotic and borderless medium, conservative and aggressive. Where can we find "truth" between the aestheticized and exaggerated performances on stage and the abstracted laughter of the audience off-stage? Annette is like a rift in the real world left by an...

    The self-awakening of the puppet

    Shengwen Annette had mixed reviews when she was in Cannes this year. She kept saying she wanted to watch it, but she finally watched it. Then she glanced at the director and finally understood why it was so polarized. His "Holy Car Dealer" made me A film that can only be vaguely understood after...

    After nine years, he created a beautiful opening for Cannes

    When it comes to Leo Carax, we always think of his amazing talent. The new work, Annette, is very much in line with expectations and shows the qualities of Karax's work as always: top-notch fine art photography, meticulous editing and post-production, and a dramatic soundtrack. When a director...
