For a movie with a distinct personality, the slaughterhouse can be said to be the farthest place from romance in the world. However, the director's excellent camera performance makes the bloodshot environment also deduce a small and fresh literary flavor.

The pure white and clean base color and the bloody and irritating red are contrasted with each other, which is enough to produce a strong visual impact; the heroine with her own glowing skin color, who is like a non-human fireworks, and the vulgar meat factory sentient beings also contrast each other interestingly; more Not to mention the dream images of the dreamlike fairy tale forest under the lens, deer, lake water, white snow and others are all very impressive in terms of light, composition and tone.

Let's talk about the two protagonists, perhaps both of them are "wonderful flowers" in the eyes of the world, out of tune with the world, drowning in utter loneliness, the male protagonist is old and disabled; the female protagonist is even more incomplete, Even the most basic communication and skin-to-skin contact are difficult. Fortunately, they have found a soul in the world that fits them best, and their bodies have also gone from resisting each other at first, to tentative contact, and finally to the final fusion. Although a bit idealistic and absurd, it is really moving.

    My light-phobic skin desires to be touched the most, but you can soothe the most when you drag your unconscious arm. Erotic movies and love songs cannot cure loneliness; double deer in a dream and blood from veins cannot clear up memory. Accustomed to sleeping alone, like a beef cow in a slaughterhouse, the rest of his life is only for the end; unforgettable memories, like a doll in a glass window, this life is only for play. The soul is terminated in the slaughterhouse, and the flesh is intercourse on the double bed.

    3.5. Romantic, eccentric and aura, there are shadows of Kieslowski and Haneke. ◎BJIFF
