    Three and a half. It's just a love movie. Although Tadao Sato has picked up a lot of shortcomings, it is actually quite watchable. The colors and the scenery are really beautiful. Europeans must be shocked when they see it and send them the Palme d'Or. It took ten years for Red Desert to be filmed, and many elements must have influenced Shaw Brothers' new martial arts. From "Rashomon" to "Uyuki Monogatari" to this one, it's all played by Jing Machiko,...

    18SIFF is extremely Japanese-style aesthetics, the composition method is excellent, and the scene with the Itsukushima Shrine as the background color palette is very impressive (the good impression that I have been there), seeing how much the previous spoilers affected the immediate feeling, and finally the male protagonist who accidentally murdered passed through Hell's Gate is such a sigh, that's how this year's SIFF...

    The composition and colors are so beautiful, every frame is enjoyable, and the audiovisual is amazing. The play is also very Japanese. After watching Xiao Ming's westernized tragedy a lot, I felt a little weird and broadened my personal understanding of...

    In the 1950s, cinema was in a period of rapid development. There are many masterpieces in various forms.

    3.5. The beginning is fixed in the picture scroll box, which determines the main style of the film. The concept of "picture scroll" was proposed by film theorist Kimura Taiping in the 1940s. This work is multi-purpose panorama, overlooking the composition, no top composition. However, the important elements of mobile photography are not prominent. But the whole is also in line with this concept. Compared with Akutagawa Ryunosuke's short story, Kassa's emotional handling is not good enough, and...

    The picture is a cinematic Ukiyo-e, and the plot is a concrete Noh drama.

    The plot of this movie is very simple, and there is nothing spectacular. However, every move of the people in the play is like a traditional Japanese drama, slow but tight, and the shamisen conveys a sense of tension and strangeness. Every frame is full of Japanese aesthetics and Ukiyo-e art....
