From the artist's point of view, the quiet and tender lens, and the delicate technique tell the survival and development of art in the war era! Take advantage of a lesson taught by Kunsthalle Düsseldorf in the midst of chaos to make the path of art right: Art is irrelevant to political stance, reflects real life, and ignites the desire for a beautiful freedom! The obstetrics and gynecology professor's elite values ​​full of political stance finally collapsed in the face of real warmth! The touching part of the film lies in the beautiful side of human nature throughout! The obstetrics professor's escape proves that the justice in his heart has not been completely wiped out. Ellie's children represent a bright future! Rare masterpiece! The screenwriter's idea is very good, and the director handles it very delicately.

    It's a work of high opening and low walking. At the beginning, my aunt talks about the piano naked in the living room. I am excited to find that the formula of the world can be used. The later time span is too large, and I can't say anything. In addition, the performance art of Pop is in this film. It's so stupid and tacky, and the black is good at it. When my aunt dies, the whole soul of the play is gone. This German film is very, very bad.

    The director still hasn't broken the curse of "debut is the pinnacle", the three-hour time span and epic narrative are emotional but not powerful. The tone and goal of the whole film have been fluctuating, and the sad and happy style has not been well neutralized. After the soundtrack intervenes, the image flows like an ocean, but there are also too many extremely weak passages. The opening chapter criticizes the atrocities of Nazi ethnic cleansing (groups and individuals struggle with the concept of "blood"), then turns to satire on contemporary art, and ends with a sudden influx of historical scars, bringing the theme back to "don't look away" (continue watching to resist forgetting) up. It is a blunt stroke in the play, and the whole also relies too much on coincidence, and the final volume is quite bloated and complicated. #HKIFF43#

Never Look Away quotes

  • Kurt Barnert: You smoke?

    Professor Carl Seeband: Sixty-three is the right age to start. The consequences will hardly catch up with me.

  • Kurt Barnert: Not random. Real. Coherent. Consistent. Only reality is consistent. Every reality is consistent. Everything that's true is beautiful. Let's suppose I say six numbers to you now. It's just stupid. Pointless. But if the six numbers are the winning lottery numbers, then they mean something. They have consistency, value, almost beauty. It's the same with the photographs. I want the truth.
