Sant's Day [from Li Zongheng Film Review]

Sandra 2022-04-19 09:02:39

Nirvana band Cobain's suicide film, written and directed by Van Sant. A big corner of the entire art history is the naked power history. If "Elephant" hadn't won the Palme d'Or and the best director, how many people would have watched that school shooting over and over again. People always say "it depends on the quality of the work" when they can't say anything or don't want to tell the truth. Sant is still eager to show the "empty" narrative and multi-angle non-linear tricks, but it really goes to a white hole. It's true that the last days of all people are close to dead, but movies are not life, life is much harder, movies are just a show, a toy for enjoyment and entertainment, whatever you may have thought. 5 points/10

    The last breath of life! Van Sant’s style became more prominent after "Elephant". This film can be regarded as the second work of Van Sant’s personal stylization, with a slight mysticism and the remainder of "My Own Idaho". "Fantasy", although "viewability" is flawed, in my opinion, it is still an excellent work. ★★★★

    The moment the male protagonist changed into a black dress with suspenders, my frantic heart suddenly calmed down...
