      The author's interest is intriguing

      Many years later, the old Wajda said to the camera: "Since Faulkner can write like that, then I can also shoot like this."

      Polyphonic narrative, no problem. But as far as I'm concerned, the interest in the image is actually on the same level as Visconti's - it doesn't need a story model of resistance, but simply presents the details of the lives of those fishermen. The author's inspiration flashes frequently, but it hinders the unity of time and space. From this point of view, I have...

      i love varda

      Walk towards the train from Paris on the staggered tracks. This interlaced complexity is a symbol of Paris in itself. The close-up of the face is used as the starting point to present the emotions of the characters, and the camera is slowly pulled to show the environment and the overall image of the characters, which enriches the hierarchy. The locomotive is about to come out. The heroine, like Katie Otining, really thought she was looking at Aki in a trance. A question about...

      texture and texture


      The 1954 film was the debut of old New Wave grandmother Agnes Vajda when she was 26 years old.

        The film is between a documentary and a feature film. There are two inseparable parts: one part is that the villagers of Short Cape Village face water pollution and government inspections, and the other part is that the hero invites the heroine to come to this seaside from Paris. Komura, trying to save their relationship. These two parts are not in-depth filming. There is no in-depth...

      free and pure

      Warda came into contact with a group of fishermen during the war and was attracted by their vivid language and decided to make a film. The phrase "On a déja chié la moitié de notre merde" (half of the shit has been pulled) is indeed more interesting than "living most of my life"...

      worthy of being a photographer, the shooting angle is very immersive, although she even Not even a day as assistant director. The most impressive scene is when Daniel died, the camera gradually zoomed out,...

      short story

      I recognized the young Philippe Noire at a glance. "Old Gun" has a very deep memory. Actress Sylvia Monfort should be the eldest daughter of the whistleblower in the old French film "Les Miserables". Both are First-class actors. Their performances are like running water, inadvertently slowly infecting you.
      This piece is really like a stream, you look at it, it flows slowly, and some people fall asleep, it is not their fault; I looked at every picture, every one, because I might not be able...

      [YVR-que] Considering the shooting time and resources, some of the shortcomings of this debut work are understandable, but this work is really not outstanding in the director's pedigree. The integration of the two lines is extremely low and the styles are very different. The love line is a shadow that affects the left bank, but the degree of completion is much worse than the 5/7 after that. At the same time, there are some shadows of Bergman and Bresson. The village line is more natural and...

      7.0, although it is a debut work, but I like the texture very much. The documentary of the people's life in Duanjia Village and the alternate narrative of a man and a woman rekindling the fire of love. The simple villagers' work and rest are calm and quiet under the sunlight, and the exchange of disputes and memories between lovers adds another dimension. A literary elegance and sophistication. There are a few scenes that can't help but remind people of "Masquerade" and "Still in the Mirror",...
