Silence does not mean acceptance
Title, silence. Silent until only the noise of coal mine operations remained, silent anger and helplessness exploded in the blast, rolled under the wheels, and locked on the abandoned factory gate. The suspension of production left the workers desperate. Through the scene where the workers died by swallowing a gun under the Latin background music, the tragic and romantic temperament of the Finns was fully displayed, and the background of the story was explained in a minimalist way. The...

Ascension - 69 minutes of Archie
What can you do in 69 minutes? read a book? Play a game? Change a partner or say a 180-degree life? For Finnish director Aki, 69-90 minutes is the time when his cravings have not developed.

"Looking at the world with cold eyes" in Aki's film always has a different and more complicated taste.

From the first shot I guessed that this should be a good movie that I like.
Untidy floors, crude stairs, slightly dim light, projections beside the stairs, the lines of the whole picture are simple and simple, the curtain is pulled open to tell the audience that the story begins. Then, the shadow of the character first appeared in the lens, the picture changed from stillness to movement, and the character slowly appeared. This small detail made the picture lighter.
