Spiritual freedom/victory with women as carriers!

If there are a few words to describe this work, it must be: (theme) depraved/absurd → allusions to freedom, (behavior) rebellion → expression of subconscious behavior, (character) gender neutrality → silent film exaggerated physical performance but relatively vague Feminine consciousness, (image) Cubism → figure body splicing, (image) surrealism → object imagery that repeatedly crosses space, (female) a small amount of female consciousness → materialized male/male and female social dislocation. All of the above, form a final topic: freedom of spirit and behavior, but not narrowly limited to women, which is what the film conveys: those whose spiritual life is completely chaotic! Specifically, the film draws physical performance elements from silent films to form an exaggerated performance-level expressionism. From the expression level of behavior, it tends to a completely free and almost absurd spiritual rebellion. However, there is also painting cubism at the level of some images. (for example, using scissors to subtract the body part), as well as the surrealism of constantly breaking the space to make objects have image connection and metaphor functions! Although the protagonist of the film is a woman, I don’t think this gender itself has a tendency in the film, but the two fallen girls, at the level of expressing the meaningless emptiness of life, are enriched by a series of other fields of art. And fill this artistic core, with magical shots, situational plots, absurdity and even a kind of unconscious behavior, as well as rich and strong color switching, it releases the strange, absurd, rebellious, alternative of the female world, which is somewhat similar to A kind of spiritual freedom that breaks the shackles of consciousness with depravity that cannot be defined by the unconscious. The only part with strong feminism in the film is that it reversely objectifies and marginalizes men in the depraved world of women, and realizes a kind of gender dislocation in social status!

    Czechoslovakia, in 1966, two 17-year-old girls trampled on food recklessly, seduced old men, expressed the deep desire of selfish and sensitive women, and the contradiction with reality. This is manifested in the alienation of this society, which makes human beings feel distant, panic and emptiness. Yes, the rules made by people, morality, politics, and everything brought about by the industrial revolution are things that deviate from people themselves. Thank you Zou Yi, Sister D

    The world is getting more and more chaotic, only we are the true temperament, we have no spiritual support for the tossing and willful behavior of big madness and big lungs... Many editing and scenes are quite psychedelic pop, good film
