no problem

Black and white, particles, light and shadow, mystery... I thought it was inconspicuous, but it was actually a drama. Oppressive soundtrack, diffuse atmosphere. The gradually eroded soul is almost like a character. Too much is incorporated into a dysfunctional narrative: religion, legend, sex, power, division, cause and effect, nature, desire... High level of cooking. Clear blur, orderly chaos. There is no solution, but there are various solutions. The two contributed the best acting of the year. But Dafoe is slightly better.

    80/100, this classical and expressive style naturally goes without saying. The sound is not actually "retro", and the rich sound may be more effective for the construction of the space than the stylization at the visual level. Robert Eggers also intends to use this method to generate atmosphere from the beginning. The content continues the folklore of the previous work, placing characters into space to trigger internal conflicts, but after development, the space has almost been lost, and it is no longer charming. There is only seeing and speaking, supporting meaning with visual symbols, building momentum with words, and cross-flow of desire.

    When you try to figure it all out, you lose. The film is full of deconstruction, theology, religion, allegory, schizophrenia, metaphor. Traveling in the light and shadow of the extremely stream of consciousness, flowing in the lines with a strong sense of ritual, the evil of human nature is photographed so finely and delicately, this is not only the punishment brought by loneliness and curse, but a symbol of human hell.
