I finished watching the movie in two parts. It was rather jumpy and dull. It was the last half hour after I took it out after many days. The film takes the male protagonist (director or actor) who went to the Western world to return to the Balkans again to find the film tape that was lost many years ago. This is a trip back home, but also a sentimental trip. The male protagonist seems to be traveling through, constantly shuttling. In many places, the movie scene is also a door to another historical time. Therefore, the search for the male protagonist is also linked to the history of the Balkans before the First World War to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. See all the wars, all the flowers wither, the disintegration of several major regimes, and the abuse of loved ones. Each historical event is very short, and only one or two people appear, as if they were the guides of the gate of that period of history, suddenly coming and disappearing. The male protagonist is looking for, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but more often he sees the leader fall. To say that the movie is like a long narrative poem is a bit elusive, especially the thick fog, especially the jumping clips, which make you wonder if it was the moment when the movie was shot (1994), or after World War I, Or Eastern and Southern Europe under the shroud of the Soviet Union after World War II. When I read it, I feel like I forgot to say something when I put it down. Personally, it feels more like a drama. Also, the soundtrack is great. Thirty minutes after I watched it for the second time, I felt that the intercepted section was very beautiful. It was the kind of beauty that was about to be lost and disappeared, and it was very short-lived. People sang in the open space after the war. People danced and enjoyed a rare moment of release in a tense life. The daughter of the director of the film archive invited the male protagonist to dance a song. The sentimentality, the female lead feels that she is about to lose the male lead. In the fog, the two danced, the male lead was wearing a black jacket, and the female lead was wearing a red jacket, so beautiful.
