    From a spiritual point of view, this film may be the closest to the essence of American culture that I have seen recently. Schrader, who is wandering between salvation and self-destruction, maintains the unity of rigorous drama logic and rich emotional rendering. However, apart from some minor flaws in details, the embarrassment of not being able to convert a first-class drama into a first-class movie has become the biggest regret of the film, otherwise the film may become Schrader's own "taxi...

    Under all kinds of weird eschatology, contemporary people's cognition and exploration of the spiritual world have reached an unimaginable level. From the script structure to the character development, this film also reveals all kinds of eccentricities, which may be appropriate, but in my opinion, it is neither natural nor a constructive interpretation of the topic itself. Although technical methods are superb and unique, what is the use? EH's performance was...

    Pour the pink, gooey shot into a glass of whisky, like a seemingly harmless poison. The 4:3 square-shaped composition is very stable, but the interior of the picture is very empty, and scattered dots and lines cut through this solid composition. The shot is fixed or moves very slowly, and the scene within the shot (especially the beginning and the sky over the wasteland) changes rapidly, and the contrast creates a supernatural feeling. This film is about the most difficult subject. zj and zz...

    Father Tolle seemed to be dispelling the doubts of all living beings, but in fact his doubts could not be resolved, and he could not recognize himself. Michael's desperation theory stimulated him, and then he simply exploded his head, and the priest began to shake. Giving him a continuous boost of emotion and intimacy, the unbalanced priest completely followed Michael's hopeless...

    2019.02.10 The biggest feature of this movie is its "stiffness", which is unnatural everywhere and has a strong sense of awkwardness.

    1 Boring image language and stories

    Pretending to be concise video, depressive atmosphere, without skillful scheduling.

    The life of the priest in the old town

    Compared with the maverick and dazzling "Diary of a Country Priest", what the First Reformed Church lacks is the strange taste of Jansenism.

    Keywords: pastor's diary; church of Dutch immigrants; industrial city; increasingly harsh environment

    Presumably, viewers with a little experience can see a lot...
