      light after dark

      At the beginning of the film, a world away from the world has been sketched out with bizarre scene settings and similar "tilt-shift" shots. A couple lives in a large house far away from the crowd, with two children and several ferocious dogs. Their lives seem self-sufficient and leisurely. Living in such a natural environment, with a happy family, and no work pressure, seems to be the dream of many people for an ideal life. However, from the release of the wife's desire, to the tension between...

      Glimmer emerges

      Imagine the traits of each director clearly written on their faces: Michael Haneke, the thin, refined; Roman Polanski, the playful and cunning; Andrei Tarkovsky, the restrained introvert. Legadas is the obvious exception, the 41-year-old Mexican man who stands behind a series of strictly noble films, always maintains a solemn and humble face, shaking his Cannes best director certificate gently, his face Showing childlike joy. Known as "After the Light" with an autobiographical color, with a...

      far from the director's best work

      Having enjoyed this author's stylized annual masterpiece, I still support Regardas for Best Director at Cannes. Like Thai director Apichatpong, Legadas represents more than Mexico, and his jaw-dropping works are like a bizarre gateway to a new generation of Latin American cinema. In this new work, Regadas, as always, erases the boundaries between reality and fantasy, combining traditional narrative and poetic description to the greatest extent possible in one dimension.

      "Lick Dreamer": The real Peach Blossom Land does not exist at all

      It's a movie about snoring.

      This is another portrayal of real rural life. When urbanization is advancing by leaps and bounds, the mountains and forests far away from the hustle and bustle are not immune to the damage brought about by the so-called modern industry. But this is gradual and not instantaneous. When the decadence of the city contrasts with the quietness of the countryside, some people still choose the countryside. Juan is...

      The Rite of Spring of Expressionism

      A little girl who had just been able to walk upright, staggering around in the paddy field, uttering syllables that just communicated with Chaos Heaven and Earth, mother, cow, the sky was gloomy, and it seemed that after the last rainstorm of spring, everything was bright. The frame cropped into a square, the deliberate defocus on the four sides of the lens, and the camera angle as low as the girl's height, this beautiful and extreme everything meets the expectations of the old Carlos Reygavas...

      We thought she was poisonous because "the dead were present". What we see is no longer a 'poison', but a code rushing out of someone else's death experience. It is the dead who share our observations, memories, oppositions and...

    Movie plot

    A small child was walking aimlessly on the grass, surrounded by many livestock, and then it started to rain, lightning and thunder; a red sheep-headed monster slowly approached an apartment, and the children in the apartment looked at it, a piece of Silence; a couple lying in bed, happily watching their children play; then another couple, coming to a public bathroom in France, and having sex with strangers; the first couple, the two...

    Paddy fields, forests, rugby fields, roads, Finnish bathrooms, birthday banquets, the blurred exterior scenes and the real interior scenes echo each other, rushing towards the road of visual art. Silent late night into the fluorescent Minotaur walking into the bedroom, and an endless shot of the ocean waves. Not long after the scene left the forest, it was pulled to a big tree in the forest. The big tree that the activated chainsaw was...
