Abbas blended the reality of Japan into the deepest feelings of the protagonist, Akiko's helplessness as she walked around the square again and again to look at her grandmother, and the tiredness of putting on red lips but sleeping at the professor's house; the film is where the glass is broken. When it comes to an abrupt end, the loneliness that originally collided will burst out... This is the charm of Abbas' films, he doesn't give you a predetermined ending, but just lets you feel it. I miss him often, often. (9.3/10)

Good to the extreme, the extreme of the possibility of a poor movie. Wherever Abbas's picture stops, there are endless landscapes and personnel. The double-layered scene used by the protagonist to shave in "Gone With the Wind" has been repeatedly reproduced in various ways. The still picture frame waits for the endless dynamic to faint in. This seemingly contradictory combination introduces the fleeting phenomenon in Zhipu, which just derives Abbas's "window" philosophy ("24 Frames"), It is also the reality of his detached Dharma eye. The de-structured gaze takes the trouble to focus on the characters, staring at their "darkness", but keeping a distance from them, unmoved by their anxiety and curiosity, as omniscient, innocent and silent as a god. But the gods are not just on the sidelines, but secretly guide and stay quietly. The twinkling of neon lights and eyes, the dozing under the signal lights, and the old lady appearing at the window are the "Pluto" moment when the mysterious light shines on the mortal. The story, as Abbas's custom, ends at a critical moment, as if the love and hate of all beings is just a game in the eyes of the Buddha.
