A clever debut, the image style with multiple shots (with long lens + shallow focus) is meaningful but unbearable. There are easy problems with debut works: there is no emotional cohesion on the whole, the story is scattered, and the details are connected. Only trying to use the image style to glue the emotional impact cannot reach the moving...

Don't go to the theater alone. As expected, the experience of watching movies is very uncomfortable as described in the media. It makes my chest tight and depressing. The semi-first-person perspective and the processing of the virtual focus of the perspective not only allow people to follow the male lead to see all kinds of cruelty in the camp, but also not to be frightened by the too bloody perspective. Towards the end of the movie, I hate the male lead, but after the end, I understand that...

Standard lens, large aperture, follow-up, limited vision, subjective vision drives the lens to move, the frame loses its meaning, the sound extends the reality infinitely, the audience is forced to follow a dying person to unfold a private and cruel concentration camp memory. Although the format is very novel, it also saves the cost, but this is not the most outstanding part of the film. It is outstanding in the most overlooked part of the film nowadays, Sound...

After the screening, the two aunts sitting next to me started discussing whether the boy was the son of the protagonist or not. I really...show the concentration camp from an individual (indifferent) perspective, especially those who have never been the protagonist before. The task force, the idea is good. But the endless short-focus lens really made me irritable. The character of the hero also makes me irritable. This film is so full, I really admire the French audience more and...

When the little boy appeared at the end, he was as pleasantly surprised as he saw God and hope. Although the ending was still cruel, some efforts were not in vain. The frame and lens are very enjoyable, 3 and a half...

Strongly stylized, focusing only on the protagonist and the background blur. From another level, it is also deliberately weakening the consumption of suffering and victims, focusing only on the personal experience of the protagonist. He also observed the entire process of horror from his turnaround. But this kind of excessive attention is indeed very depressing, and the male lead's obsession is a bit too...

The big screen is like a mirror, the audience’s perspective is blurred, but the protagonist’s POV’s feeling is an anxious and depressed object in the mirror, a concentration camp hell that can be experienced. The short focal length is almost applied to the face. I have to admit that the concept, perspective, technology and intention of this film are very tricky, unlike a novice work. But it definitely belongs to the film I don't want to watch the second time. The protagonist who insists on...

This is probably the most cruel and realistic movie I have ever seen showing the suffering of the Jews during World War II! Although it is based on the serious Jewish scars of World War II, the visual and auditory tragedy also shocks the audience, but the movie is not boring and ugly. The director hides his scars out of the depth of field, and the sound effects create a realistic recording sense in the future, allowing the audience to replace the clear visual picture with hearing, and imagine...
