SIFF's second movie, thanks to low-cost transfer tickets?

"Living authentically is a gift that most of us don't have"

The whole process was overwhelming, and the entanglement of the relationship was so ferocious that I felt like I was watching a horror movie for a moment. Family problems are always a lifelong struggle. Talking is useless, humiliation is useless, and there is always a struggle between love and hate, hurt and self-blame. Everyone's acting skills stand up to scrutiny, the monologues don't feel boring, and the composition, lighting, and expression of the sonata are also charming.

During her monologue, her daughter felt that her mother's fault was trivial, but also felt real. Some people become parents before they grow up. People who rely too much on attention cannot face the mundane reality. Self-moving love is the most terrifying.

How can it be so easy to mend relationships? People's feelings are always too complicated, and sometimes it is not enough to work hard.

    [Exhibition at China Film Archive] I'm ashamed, this is the first Bergman work I've seen. I'm also very lucky to see such a masterpiece on the big screen. Understand what is called "Biaoxi". The screen magnifies the frowning expressions of the actors' every move, as well as the colors and atmosphere. Let the audience follow the heart-wrenching, aftertaste shock. Everyone is deeply influenced by family. A pool of calm pool water, surging torrents. The perfect viewing experience (all in Xiaoxitian~

  • Eva: People like you are a menace. You should be locked away and rendered harmless.

  • Charlotte Andergast: I feel so shut out, I'm always homesick. But when I get home. I find it's something else I'm longing for.
