      Annette: He is there to Express Himself

      The director is very personal; he is there to express himself, not to please the audience. The pair are stand-up talk show actors and popular opera actresses. Whether it's a talk show in the movie or the story of the entire musical movie, maybe the audience offstage and the audience in front of the screen don't know what they want to watch, when they have spare time, or when they are bored, Let your mind run wild and free with talk shows and music movies. Going through the...

      "Annette": I saw the infinite possibilities of cinema in Karax's visual maze

      On November 22, 1960, Carax was born in Suresnes, France. He was born into a wealthy middle-class family. His father was a reporter for the French scientific newspaper and his mother was a film critic for the New York Pioneer Forum. It is worth mentioning that this newspaper appeared in Godard's work "Exhausted".

      The work and identity of his parents had a great influence on Karax, and the occupation of his parents laid a very important foundation for his...

      may we start

      The director was the first to go abroad, swearing absolute sovereignty over his films as a music producer, lost in fame, praise, capital, interests, inferiority, lost love, eternal curse, in music, I feel that the soundtrack and lyrics can be done a little more, really not The film language and music are really intrinsically connected in the particularly good-sounding video, but it seems that it only occurs when musical instruments are present. The "dramatic treatment" of the film itself not...

      Karax's Circus

      "Annette" was my fourth exposure to Karax, and I approached it with purpose - to understand why Karax's films are weird.

      I convince myself this way: Director Card wants to have his own circus.

      Both "Annette" and "Bad Blood" are heavily traditionally structured. "Bad Blood" is more spiritual. The maturity of "Annette" makes this film more fun to find.

      1. A large number of repetitive lyrics in the film not only stimulate...

      The shocking, immersive video text and the perfect fusion of the dramatic structure are once again Crax's crazy creation in the field of musical and dance films, and are also full of the avant-garde atmosphere of various postmodern art in terms of criticism. Being invited at the beginning is like controlling every nerve of the audience, but the narrative is much more tolerant than "Sacred Car Dealer", based on a clear story line, so it will not give up thinking while feeling. The consciousness...

      In the final interaction, we seemed to return to "District 9" and "Super Chappie". The core concept is passed between works, memory and characteristics flow between the body with the demon, taking the sci-fi, reconstructed memory world as the starting point, cutting into the inferior, twitching CG image, a contemporary "video tape image". ”, a return to the most instinctive chaotic medium of horror...

      It is an ancient Greek tragedy in its bones, which just fits the form of opera/musical, mixed with Gothic, modern social technology and popular elements, religious symbols (a bite of an apple and a devil birthmark with a similar color to the apple), horror films puppet. High-speed switching of different super-visual scenes, beautiful and beautiful, the body is like a pale perfect plaster, the magnified visual experience and the complicated music contribute to a dazzling viewing experience,...

      4.5 Because Carax clearly breaks the fourth wall and establishes a contract with the audience from the beginning, pointing out that everything on the screen is fictional, so whether it is a puppet symbolizing Annette, or an image wandering in movies and stage plays, it is both deliberately offensive and challenging. The audience also pointed out that the essence of the image is infinitely close to the real but beyond the real. What impressed me the most was not the actors (although the driver...

    Evaluation action

    From the plot introduction alone, "Annette" still has a bit of the strange and tragic color of director Leos Carax's works. However, a strange story must be filled with three-dimensional characters to be exciting. In the past, the men and women in the director's works were always loved by their hearts, and they couldn't help falling into a crazy situation. In "Annette", Henry, the protagonist, is of course crazy, but the emotional...
