The cold oozes warmth

I thought that "Hallem Foe" would be another sad movie about a teenager who lost his mother who couldn't accept reality, clashed with his stepmother, ran away from home and wandered the streets. The subject of voyeurism is also similar to Kieslov Skye's "Love Short" is very similar, but this one is extraordinarily unique, oozing a touch of human warmth under the gloomy theme.
The photography is also beautiful. Edinburgh’s pointed roofs withstand various light during the day and at night, which is in line with the tone of the movie. At the end, the lake surface is gray and foggy, and a white swan gracefully glides across the lake. The beauty of the strange hope of the species.

    There is no resonance, I can't understand it~~ The OST is still good...

    Four and a half stars. The two confessed to each other with a series of genital nicknames, and it was only the British who could photograph this dirty innocence. The whole process of Edinburgh was shot, the roof angle is very special, there is a kind of beauty out of the dust. Incorporating Oedipus, voyeurism, and incestuous youth growth stories, there are many dew points, but there is no curiosity at all, and the performance is fresh, natural and smooth. The music is used very well, no wonder it won the best OST in Berlin.
