Excellent B-level film material combination

Some movies tell stories, and the form serves the content and theme; some movies do not tell stories, but only want to express certain feelings and emotions. Its meaning lies in its form and the feeling itself that it can trigger. If you look at "Anna's Labyrinth" with the mentality of watching the former movie, you will find that it doesn't make sense, but if you look at it as the latter movie, it is obviously still excellent.
The film separately intercepts three fragments of a woman's childhood, adolescence, and youth, and unfolds them. It can be said that there is no connection between the three clips, not only the content and narrative, but also the type of film (if you insist on categorization). Childhood clips can be seen as a template for horror movies. Many elements are taken out separately and placed in other horror movies, and the effect will be very good. Teenager clips are the best erotic films. The girl’s smooth bare skin, rosy and plump lips, floating skirt corners, men’s eyes, trembling Adam’s apple, gasping sound, girls’ hair blown by the wind, men’s scumbag face, sweating and dirty The hands of the girl, the looming roots of the thighs of the girl, the thick and thick torso of the man... The montage makes the sexual hint quite obvious. The grown-up footage has clearly become a thriller. The woman went back to the big house where she was a child, killed a man, was killed by a man, and then resurrected? (The last shot ends at the moment she opens her eyes). The end is similar to the corpse, and the skins of the chickens are all up.
Although I can't force the film to be narrative, I have a feeling: watching any one of the clips alone will have a good effect, but when the three clips are connected, the feeling presented as a movie itself is greatly reduced. It's like some people have mediocre facial features, and they feel beautiful when combined, while some people's facial features are beautiful when viewed individually, but the whole face always seems to reveal indescribable weirdness and disharmony. That's how it feels.
It is worth mentioning that the set of shots from childhood to adolescence and the beginning of adolescence are very beautiful. The photography, editing, music and three actresses of this film are all very good. Personally, I like the teenage period the most. I just need to strengthen the narrative and think of a better story to make a movie like LOLITA. In short, for me, instead of treating it as a movie, it's better to treat it as a series of excellent combination of B-level films, and it feels better.
