    Beloved be the ones who sit down. When I saw the title, I thought it was a horror movie, but after reading the introduction, it felt like a literary film. As a result, watching the whole movie was divided into three nights, it was difficult not to fall asleep, and it felt like pretending not to give one star. Weird, frustrated, ridiculous, mysterious, in short, all the elements that can confuse people are used. The score shows that most people would rather not understand...

    Not only can I accept Roy Anderson's style after "Han Zhi Que Jing", but I also like it very much. The characters with their faces whitened like clowns, short fat old clowns, the soundtracks are either comical or funeral music, all framed in one fixed long shot after another, absurd and desperate, like lifeless and no passion, everyone. They are all stupid walking dead, with no purpose and no need for answers, just live like this anyway! Negative negativity also has its meaning and...

    It's not quite like Northern Europe, but Eastern Europe has a stronger flavor. The movie is composed of many pale, numb, and monotonous long-range shots, like an absurd and funny stage play. Beloved be the ones who sit down, this poem is mentioned repeatedly in the film, but unfortunately I didn't find the...

    The cold and absurd jokes in the first few paragraphs are fortunate, and then the more I go, the more I can't understand it. I don't like it. I mainly read this version and there are problems with the translation. I don't know what I'm talking...

    I have seen "Singing from the Second Floor": fixed camera, long shot. Pale picture + pale face. Nervous dialogue. One after another, weird sketches originating from reality but out of reality show the darkest side of life. To make such a low-budget film that is purely literary and artistic, one must maintain a critical eye, be content with loneliness, and be dismissive of the box office. Watching this kind of movie, don't fall asleep. ....

    I prefer new works and new works are more obscure. This religious tendency is much clearer. I didn't understand the hell on the second floor until the end of the film. The director is really...

    Pale and indifferent faces, wavering beliefs, the collapse of the capital market, workers on strike and marches, deranged poets, paralyzed traffic jams, pedestrians running in the same direction, innocent attacks on immigrants, lifeless marriages, etc. Wait, wait, absurd and bizarre details of life constitute the current living state of people. There are many shadows of it in Soderbergh's recent smouldering film...

    The delicate scene design creates an untouchable aspect of life, trancely conveying the predicament of life. Art can not only reproduce reality, but also express helplessness in reality in an unreal way. Everything we depend on for survival may also be a tool to control us. All of these are asking us: we are born to be human but why are we...

    Injured and dirty, the director's comeback work that has been dormant for many years is full of negative emotions of individuals and groups under the economic recession, belief in aging, death, and pain. The style is established under the sad theme song, and the camera should only move once. Beijing Film Festival...

    The sitters are cute

    So far, I still have a lot of doubts about this film. Especially many fragments at the beginning. Due to cultural differences and isolation, and insensitivity to foreign faces, and the film style is dim and vague, there are many characters in the scene but few close-ups, so the relationship between...
