9.5/10 Adapted Tolstoy's original work into the taste of Dostoevsky. Organize the entire movie with the circulation of money as a clue. Money flows between hands. The circulation process itself includes unequal power relations. Therefore, money is not only a "fruit" that reflects the power structure of society, but also causes the tragedy in the film. "Cause"-upper-class and middle-class children can settle everything with money after making mistakes and pretend that nothing happened; while the...

Simple lens style, full of cold and hard feeling. A work of...

One of the best of Bresson, the extreme form of minimalism and coldness, and it fits perfectly with the theme of violent hopelessness. 1. Almost all are fixed lenses, with simple lens assembly instead of lens movement, and hard cuts are used for transitions. There is no longer any dissolving or fading in the early and mid-term works. 2. As little as possible to show the face, whole body or complete movements, instead of partial close-ups of opponents or feet or gaze on objects in the...

#重看# The cold and precise lens language perfectly fits the original text, and the partial close-up constitutes an abnormally oppressive rhythm. The richness of information outside the frame is breathtaking, and the narrative efficiency is extremely high. Forbearance of banal evil breeds violence, and truly interprets how the environment affects character. Human beings do not need emotional support anymore. Under the manipulation and coordination of the hand of fate, they are transformed into...

God is completely absent in Bresson's last work, and the salvation that can be obtained in Toon's place is completely far away from mankind here. It’s not the first time [Qian] sees the story of world domination, but this very easy-to-make manifesto-style film is chilling in Bresson’s place. His purification of the film medium has reached its peak here. There is no redundant sound and picture, and no exercise if you can use the details. This precision achieves the best effect at the end,...

There is no soundtrack, no rendering, Bresson’s most simplified narrative style, extreme obsession with partial close-ups, and the miraculous effect of insightful writing; on the basis of ignoring the cruelty of time, the spatial language of each shot is rich in meaning, and the composition is wonderful; The whole film takes "money" from a subjective perspective, showing a social scandal that slowly decays from the bottom to the top in every detail. After de performance, it can only make people...

When the whole film is so stingy with time for the big action of the characters, has anyone ever counted how long it took to open and close the door? (Rooms, shops, elevators, prisons, ATM machines, safes, car trunks, fences...) On the one hand, hand transmission establishes the relationship between people, on the other hand, it uses the opening and closing of doors decisively Cut off the mutual connection. The malformed product of the combination of the two is the killing of delivering berries...
