Floating between elegant walls
When we're talking about long takes, the opening scene in Orson Wilson's Gone with the Wind is bound to show us the intricate interplay of camera, actors, and scenes.
Whether it's Hitchcock's "Reaper of Souls" or the "Birdman" and "Roma" of the Mexican Three Heroes, they all seem to use only one camera for continuous shooting, but they all use many methods to hide the flaws (clip points). Impressive as it can be, the question that follows is how to deal with...

The film is based on the work of Maupassant, the king of short stories. It consists of three short clips.
Let’s start with the first story:
Countless men and women flock to the most famous dance floor in Paris, and the mesmerizing long shots follow these men and women who are completely unbridled, unrestrained and carnival. After a while, a dancer with a black mask on his face burst into the dance floor, dancing more frantically than all the dancers before, but gradually...

Last month, I watched "Once Upon a Time in the West" because of the Shanghai Film Festival, and the duel was nearing the last moment. With the gradually stirring music and clear memories, I suddenly smelled the smell of historical gunpowder in a trance. And this time, when I saw "Joy" in the retrospective exhibition of works of Orpheus, it was clear from the beginning.
A voice-over in the opening block of black says that...

Le Plaisir, 1952, Max Ophüls (Joyful) Three stories based on three of Maupassant's novels: "Mask", an old man puts on the mask of a youth to go to a ball in order to regain his lost youth; "Dai Li" "Ye Chun Lou", a brothel owner leads a group of girls back to the countryside to attend her niece's first communion; "Model", a love story between a painter and a model. Love Ophüls' flowing shots so much. The first shot of the dance party is amazing enough. In the second segment, the long shots...

The three separate Maupassant stories, connected by the narration of the storytelling, also show some connection. The narration is humorous and poetic.
"Mask": love and happiness. The sad man dances and revels all night under the mask for indulging in the vain past of his youth, and the sad woman feels revengeful joy that the sad man finally needs his own care. A long shot of the dance scene depicts the atmosphere of youthful pleasure-seeking very...

4.5 When a man fails to seek pleasure, when a man seeks pleasure, the three stories are light and heavy, but the connection is as smooth and elegant as the scene language shown in the movie "but a happy friend does not mean happiness" It is...

Women are beautiful because of everything they can bring: holiness, innocence, romance, happiness, youth... The carriage full of flowers is the best proof that every man should kneel under a pomegranate...

The second afternoon of the retrospective exhibition of the works of #MaxOrphels, after I slept and watched this, it was like a chicken blood. I deliberately reviewed a few highlights of this film before entering the theater, and then I missed the schedule of the first "Mask" without entering the state! Until the second "Madame Taylor's House", I began to pay attention to the operation of the master's camera. The window rises to show two doors on one side, and the other corner protrudes from...

This is the first time I saw Orpheus, and I really like his composition. Not to mention the sports lens, it is dizzying. Especially the second paragraph, the closed environment of the apartment peeking out of the window vs the open pastoral panorama. The 360-degree rotating camera in the church really fits the narration...
Narrator: [Introducing "La Maison Tellier"] How can I put it without shocking you? It was one of the "houses" - - but very well run. Men went there every night like they'd go to a café . The same six or eight would meet. Respectable men - - shopkeepers, young men of the town, They'd drink and flirt with the girls or talk to Madame, whom everyone respected.
Monsieur Poulain - L'ancien maire (segment "La Maison Tellier"): The men shouting are Englishmen. They're used to brawls. Seems it's like fencing in their country.
Julia Tellier (segment "La Maison Tellier"): [Reading the newspaper] Fears of war in the Pacific.
Madame Louise dite Cocotte (segment "La Maison Tellier"): What does Pacific mean?
Madame Rosa (segment "La Maison Tellier"): Peace.
