      "Landscape in the Fog"

      In the age of nothingness and nowhere, we stand on the ground, but seem to be floating in the air.

      I like An Zhe's poetic lens, far and near, people are in the same frame, but the distance is very far. "I think you are very special. You have very clear goals, but you never seem to chase the time."

      A stray boy who loves drama, his costume battered by the wind is like human skin, powerless to sway. The defiled girl has met a love that can make her emotional like a river....

      Unspeakable foggy landscape

      This film is very different from the French films I have seen in the past. It is depressing, dark, and serious like a German film.
      The same tone from beginning to end, running away from beginning to end, no bright colors, no hope, only struggling choices in despair and chaos.
      How much courage does it take to carry out a trip without a concrete purpose, a totem-like only symbolic but unshakable yearning - Germany!
      The scenery along the way, the hardships and the warmth walk...

      Small comment

      Watching Lopoulos' films is full of this sadness. This sadness is not only for the characters and the tone, but also reflects in my own heart. It turns out that I am empathetic.
          Looking for their destination, in my eyes, it is so impossible and ridiculous. In their hearts, I think, although they are hesitant, they are still convinced that they can reach it. On the other hand, in this society, the adult society, everyone has their own utopia, whether they can pursue it with confidence....

      What's at the end of the fog?

      When I entered the film, it was a long paragraph with two lines of intermittent text in the center of the black screen, which I could not understand. The music has always been thinking, it is the kind of very pure melody, clear and simple, with a little nostalgic sentiment. The entry of this kind of film should be carefully arranged. This is a very warm film, and at the beginning, combined with this artistic expression, the emotions of the viewers were well configured.


           After...

      "Warm Ending and Cruel Poetry", the eternal question of the meaning of life

      "Landscape in the Fog" Let's talk about it first. Now this movie is No.1 in my heart. It replaced the previous beautiful life and started watching it at 6.30 in the evening. Just watched it for the first time: I didn't understand it but I was shocked. Then I went to a certain station to find an interpretation: It was so awesome that I was shocked. Okay, let’s go to the main topic [Meow Meow] ﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉﹉ ① After watching the movie, I was most confused and the most...

      Brother Alexander is the real protagonist. At the beginning, my sister asked my brother: Are you afraid? Brother: I'm not afraid. Later in Germany, my sister said: I am afraid. Brother: Don't be afraid, I'll tell you a story. At first there was only darkness, and then the light appeared. The scenery in the fog, the hazy hopes of children, the purity of childhood filters out the harshness of reality, and the cleanest part is undergoing cruel baptism. Mapping the Greek national mentality, praised...

      After completing An Zhe's second brush, the feeling is different from the surface. After years of turmoil in Greece in modern times, the ordinary people's drop in the ocean can restore history better. See the wandering artist...

      Searching and searching, deserted, desolate and miserable. The scenery is elsewhere, and the thick fog cannot be dissipated; the future cannot be seen clearly, and the dust is transparent; the silent long shot, poeticizes the...

    "Topio stin omichli" is a very sad movie. All kinds of small events during the journey, along with the main line, outline the boring, absurd and political side of the adult world . And the religious side of the film cannot be ignored (Timeline Review)  , it shows a world after God's death, deep and strong (Tencent Entertainment Review)  . The film’s musical levels and styles are very rich, as the name suggests, the scenery is...

    Movie quotes

    • Orestis: Who am I? I'm a snail slithering away into nothingness... I don't know where I'm going. Once I thought I knew.

    • Orestis: If I were to shout, who would hear me out of the armies of angels?

    • Voula: [writing a letter to her father] Dear father, we are writing because we have decided to come and find you. We have never seen you and we miss you. We talk about you all the time. Mummy will be upset that we've gone. Deep down inside we love her, don't think we don't, but she doesn't understand anything. We don't know what you look like. Alexander says all sorts of things. He dreams about you. We miss you so much. Sometimes on my way home from school I think I hear footsteps behind me, your footsteps, and when I turn to look there's no one. Then I feel very lonely. We don't want to be a burden to you. We just want to get to know you and then we'll go away again.
