Distant Comments

Winter in Istanbul under the wide-angle lens is too beautiful and too deep. The cousin who came from a long way and left in a hurry, lost love and unspeakable misunderstanding, sneaky lust, sobbing ship whistle, vague dog bark, anxiety with nothing, Huzun written by...

To be honest, two stinky men get along like this under one roof, I think the level is very high, and they are already very harmonious. Can a man live without a woman? Is that woman a call girl? I also stalk my ex-wife who is going to immigrate, and then watch AV every day like a meal. My nephew, too, follows women everywhere, and is not honest in the subway. Can't you live without a woman?...

Both are lonely and degraded people, why should relatives speak against each other. It's good to be honest with...

For works with relatively straightforward Ceylon themes, Uzak's translation into a distant place is not appropriate, and somewhat weakens/confuses the context. Two lonely people living together do not resolve loneliness, but create alienation. It is very common that the two are still an outsider state even in their original situation. Ceylon's lens language is very suitable for capturing alienation and loneliness. It may be a digression: The identity and destination of Istanbul intellectuals...

Insomnia late at night and re-watch the [Distant] pull tab. The last scene of "Distant", watching the sea under the sunset, 3 minutes and 22 seconds, a total of 6 shots. The last shot is 2 minutes and 14 seconds, with an average shot length of 33.7 seconds. Comparable to "Dark Circles", fishing scene, 84:50-87:18, two shots, 2 minutes and 28 seconds, with an average shot length of 74 seconds. Ceylon's camera and actors are no more solid and determined than Tsai Ming-liang and...

The saddest thing about the loneliness of modern people is that they are able to realize their own estrangement, but they are pushed farther from each other in their pursuit of contact with others. This mental dilemma is exactly the theme of Ceylon [far]. We have seen a similar pursuit in Cai Mingliang's [Long Live Love], but the real center there is an empty house, and the apartment here is full of details of life. In the end, human beings can only be connected indirectly through these...

The combination of the deep-focus telephoto lens with the shallow depth-of-field telephoto lens and the slightly shorter lens is very comfortable. It should be that the sound of the same period is very natural, real and delicate, giving the audience a perceptual experience. In the early spring, choose the delicate sound in the tranquility/Life is about art imitating too...

The self-space is occupied by outsiders, and the loners can only express their erotic desires. This setting is very Cai Mingliang, but it is more secretive and restrained. Istanbul is to Ceylon what Tokyo is to Ozu. It will not be better if you go there. In the end, the distance is nothing more than that. In addition, this film is a sequel to...

Slightly bored, watch carefully. Long shots, slow pace, and less dialogue. Ceylon's photography always has extra points. In fact, there are many similar stories in China. What is rare is that the director can grasp many interesting details and get a great fullness in the psychological description. Many places are too appropriate, especially the photographer in that city. Is this Ceylon's own life...
