undercurrent

The camera moves slowly in a dark space, the atmosphere is mysterious and weird. Presented in front of the audience are some close-ups of grievous people: pale and rotting corpses covered with maggots; huge crisscross cuts, revealing that the deceased seemed to be tortured and killed. The cast and crew list is shaped like a wildfire, flashing in and out on the screen. Detective Pierre, played by Jean Renault, drives through a mountain tunnel. The lights in the tunnel are dim and dim, forming two red lines, shaking at the top. Suddenly a dazzling bright light tore through the darkness, and the car emerged from the tunnel and magically broke into another new world. The lens is taken from aerial photography, falling from the top to the bottom, and the green scene is refreshing. The sun shines like a dazzling waterfall of light on the rolling Alps, and the peaks in the distance are covered with snow. The highway meanders forward and runs through the mountains. The background music is now playing-[the crimson rivers]. Bruno from France Coulais's bizarre sound. Like the impact of snow flakes, it emits a beautiful sound of ding ding dong dong. This is a complete and complete journey of subversion. The film "Undercurrent" is about a series of terrifying murders, the methods of committing crimes can be described as cruel and abnormal to the extreme. The murderer must first stun the victim and bind it, then cut off his hands and feet, dig out his eyes, and cut all parts of his body with non-fatal wounds, so that the victim will feel the greatest pain, and finally die slowly. If filmed as usual, it will undoubtedly be a murderous action movie that disturbs the heart rhythm and suffers a strong visual impact. But director Mathieu Casoví did not do this. Instead, he took a different approach, wandering lightly from the minutiae of the action, and with ease to pull out two clues-the "Mountain Corpse Case" in charge of Pierce and Max ( The mysterious disappearance of a young girl played by Vincent Cassel twenty years ago. In the beginning, they had their respective duties, but in the process of detection, the two cases were involved due to common factors, so the two clues were twisted together and formed a main line. The two worked together to investigate. All the spearheads were ultimately directed at the local university. This closed school in the valley has been poisoned by Nazi ideology for a long time, advocating the cultivation of the so-called "eugenic blood." They privately adjust the newborn baby, arrange the seats of students, and arrange the combination of professors and athletes' children, so that the next generation of children can have "excellent" qualities. The murderer, the girl of one of the twins, was the victim. She was abandoned since she was a child and was forcibly deprived of her maternal love. The young heart that has lost love is soaked in the poison of resentment, and the flower of evil blooms. When she grew up, she threw her life into crazy revenge. In essence, this is a sad story, a poor child who has been abandoned, asking for a price from society. There is never a single part in the whole article, which is a detailed display of the process of committing the crime. There are no shining weapons, no creepy screams, and no Hollywood-style fierce fighting. Everything is enduring and lurking, the truth is like a stream of water buried in the ground, unnoticeably suppressed, flowing, and squirming gracefully. The frozen secret, waiting for them to uncover layer by layer. Since the suspense setting of the film is always concentrated in a dark and airtight state, when the crime is uncovered, an unexpected tension effect is produced. This is a major feature of the film "Undercurrent". Another feature of the film is entirely given by music. We return to the beginning of the film. The first paragraph. I dare say that people who have watched this film must have been deeply attracted from this. With the crimson [the crimson The musical rhyme of rivers], those things that are usually disgusting, are given a tranquil, meditation-like unique atmosphere, even the maggots that crawl up and down the corpse, look beautiful Dancers. Maybe things are not what they seem on the outside. It is said that Bruno Coulais has a habit of giving film soundtracks, never caring about the plot of the story itself, but just immersing in the mythical subjective image, so as to dig out the musical connotation closely related to the theme on a deeper level. What a pure artist. http://www.songtaste.com/song/1124299/
