    6.13 SIFF New Hengshan. The viewing experience is actually average. The copy of the film source is relatively old, the subtitles are even more incompatible with the timeline, and about 1/4 has not been translated. It is not Melville's personal heroic suspense crime, but calm to cruel, restrained to loneliness, it can be said that from the perspective of God, ordinary lens language, depicts the fatal despair. And the revolution, whether it wins or loses, has to pay the price of...

    Begins in front of the Arc de Triomphe, Nazi military music, German troops; ends in front of the Arc de Triomphe, the savior falls under our guns. The golden iron horse is the fur of war, it enjoys our weakness, it is the instinct to run away, it is the refusal to throw away a picture of a daughter in its arms. The good days of watching Gone with the Wind together in London, exhausted and no one...

    One of the classic works of the famous French director Jean-Pierre Melville, it describes the life of the French rebels in a documentary style. Not overly rendered, cool and...

    The shadow is the soul, and the shadow force is the soul force. The surface resistance is the Nazis, but the real resistance is the inner self. The extreme impact comes from the deep understanding of death in the soul. To put it harshly, the thousands of resistance-themed films and TV dramas made in China are not even comparable to Melville's film. The only one in the Chinese film industry that is close to the Melville-style static intellectual philosophical crime film style is the Galaxy...

    short comment

    The 1969 French movie "Shadow Army": I just watched 120 frames of a certain film this morning, and now I am moved by the picture of the 1969 film. Although it is a digitally restored version, the texture of the film and the hazy gray tones are too tasteful. The story was shot very coldly, and all...

    Gepier's nose is like a mountain

    After watching "Shadow Army", the most unforgettable detail is the faces of the two actors.

    Jepiye (Lino Ventura ornaments) black-rimmed round glasses, a high nose like a mountain, and a few forehead lines. Always wear a knee-length trench coat, leather shoes and trousers, a round hat, and a short...
