    The subtitles appeared at the end of the film, the girls behind were sobbing and applauding in the dark, we did not see the spectacle of suffering, some just shook hands a few times, with colleagues, with strangers, with the past, and the future, all life is tied to a few times Shaking hands, the rest is standing, silent and doing things, only the music fluctuates, wipes old photos on the bookshelf in Lao Chai's grief, thinks that in "Lonely Shadow in Paradise", the heroine also bandages...

    A tragedy that mixes comedic elements, and it's sunny at the end. Those stylized (and interior scenography) cool humor (chicken is too much to my liking) that makes you want to laugh, but you can't. At the end, the camera’s top-down corresponds to the male and female’s up-looking. Recalling the jazz performance at the beginning, the camera changes from up-looking to head-up (taking out the unfocused guests from the restaurant), and finally to looking down, which is both sad and tender. There...

    There is no such thing as a perfect road, but the couple's road to unemployment is really bumpy. Fortunately, there has been a warm and beautiful twist. The whole film is still based on Aki's personal style, and we see the familiar bouquets and dogs. Especially the black humor that has always been mixed, like injecting a light lubricant into the bitter life, the attitude towards impermanence is the best, no matter how difficult life is, don't give up easily, opportunities and hopes will always...

    #Tencent Video# 4.3 points. The Ozu-style family drama texture, the uneven performance style, and the simplicity of the home decoration style (even a bit of Hope) make this story never fall into bitterness, but a kind of cold and warm. The frequent darkening transitions in the middle are a bit like a classical Japanese shadow. Is the red water bottle also an "Ozu"-style Zhu...

    Once the future was full of hope, now the past is a cloud. "Don't be nervous, there is still tomorrow." The sympathetic Aki left a lick of tenderness and an upward ending in almost the entire cruel reality depiction, just raised his head and looked at how long the smoke would float into clouds. ? 8.5/10|The music is so good, the opening song is the...

    89/100 "Image - Situation". Kaurismaki's capture of the Nordic style is too precise, with fixed camera positions in static state, mechanical lens panning, and character scheduling. situation" gradually emerges. A modern alienation of the bourgeoisie is introduced (the petty bourgeoisie in the case of unemployment is in fact proletarianized), the characters in the social situation, the characters in the family situation. But "Floating Clouds" does not focus on sociology, but on philosophy and...

    It's really appropriate to watch this when things are not going well. God seems to be fighting against this couple. Seeing that they are approaching a dead end, there is finally no way out. In the end, the two of them looked up at the sky and smoked at the entrance of the visit. With tears in their eyes, they held on, remember to hold on, anyway, it's already miserable to the end, how can it get...

    One of my favorite Aki at the moment, the opening piece of jazz totally got me hooked. There is no strong dramatic conflict, nor does it take on the attitude of bitterness and hatred. In the face of a bitter and tormenting life, the film is made in a quiet, comfortable and ironic manner. The minimalist video style reminds me of a film review Han Songluo once wrote: "It's cold, clean, and warm." Couples who have overcome difficulties together, old friends who help each other, can see hope as...
