If you can make it to the end, it won’t be a bad film, absurd comedy, the director’s Q&A talks about the essence, instead of looking for the so-called meaning in traditional movies, the bloody colonization, the brutal human nature. What she wants to convey is only the poignant beauty of the pure extinction culture. The painting-like shots, especially the last scene, are very beautiful, but it's a pity that the absurdity is not enough. 3 stars

Martel borrowed Zama's perspective to reflect on the colonial past with his personal scenes under the torrent of the great era, and traveled through time and space in the wild wonderland of South America. 1. "There is a kind of fish that fights with water all its life, so that it will not be thrown on the bank by the water." The fish in the water, like the Zama in the colony, are caught in the middle of nowhere, lost in the anxiety of self-identity and the rotten hypocrisy of the bureaucracy. It seems to have an absolute dominant position, but it also suffers from the inner torment and personal threats of the same and the aborigines, and finally leaves in embarrassment. In the film, Zama is a "real spy", but the "truth" he sees is limited to his surroundings (peeping at naked women/watching Luciana flirting), like blocking the shore of hope, there is no way Know the whole history. 2. The silent maid, the racial isolation that cannot be framed; Porto, who has been separated from sound and painting several times and killed a thousand times, is a figurative symbol of anxiety and anxiety for the characters. 3. The almost stagnant flow of time is represented by a large number of fixed shots, bringing out the powerlessness and absurd poetry of fate coursing towards the end of tragedy. (9.3/10)
