    First, this kind of quality and pursuit is unique among domestic film creators. Which Chinese-speaking director has such courage and talent to focus on the theme of time? This will definitely leave a coordinate in the history of cinema. Second, Bi Gan really cut himself open and sewed it up for people to see. I saw a person who exposed himself. The more maze, the more obscure and the more exposed he became, because the real high-level exposure must be covered with a layer of gauze. This is the...

    An upgraded version of "Roadside Picnic" was written in the type shell of film noir. Under the theme of "time and memory, space and dream", the audio-visual language was refined and sublimated. The realism in the first half and the freehand brushwork in the second half, the correspondence and reflection of core elements, the bridging of narrative fragments, and the smoothing and extension of the timeline are all harmoniously unified, and the characters before and after can be clearly compared...

    When the house finally spun, the tears couldn't be held back any longer. The person who can't go back and can't be caught, the elusive memory, Bi Gan, who has enough financial support, finally completely realized his own dangmai. The whole is a lot more mature than the roadside picnic, and the shadow of Tarkovsky is also much less, but it is closer to Vertigo in the...

    #Cannes18# It can be said that you understand what is David Lynch and Hou Hsiao-hsien. The rich Bi Gan is so awesome. Can it be declared that this is the beginning of a new Chinese film? We're finally starting to have art films that can show their prominence without being critical of social issues. Look at Bi Gan, Section Chief Jia. #Premiering the second scene, full house, including...

    I am afraid that among the high-scoring people, they want to emphasize that "I understand it" is more important than really thinking that the content of the movie is good. It took more than an hour in the front to use a lot of long shots that tested the audience's patience to pave the way for clues and sources in the male protagonist's dream. The director really did not consider the feelings of the people listening to the story in the matter of "telling". It is unacceptable arrogance if the...

    In the realistic segment, I like the surveillance scene the most, and a piece of fairy music is ignited in front of the double-sided mirror in Paris, Texas. If the story is made linear, the dark blue nights that follow will be Jiamusu, but it is necessary to interweave the memory with reality, and make the atmosphere and narrative Lynch-like. The dream segment, from the abandoned mine to the bluestone slabs, lighted stadiums and factories and mines of Danzhai, is completely Bi Gan's own...

    The long shots are truly stunning, starting with the oil lamp, convulsing horses, apples, torches, spells and flying, all surreal blending seamlessly in the dark night of the southwestern town. The first hour of the movie is too convoluted, and the lines are also played, which damages the quality of the whole film. In addition, the literary myth of Tang Wei and Huang Jue should have been shattered long ago. Finally, I heard the bottom-of-the-cup incantation that was shot hundreds of times by a...

    I heard that the suspenseful sci-fi film "Last Night on Earth" used the gimmick of "one kiss for New Year's Eve" to attract brain-dead audiences. This is similar to the fact that some TV dramas I have been criticizing and condemning let Sun Wukong and Bai Gu Jing fall in love, and Sun Wukong called Bai Gu Jing "Jingjing". ", the behavior of the white bone spirit calling Sun Wukong "empty" is the same. In order to curb this kind of behavior and let the Chinese audience re-establish a correct...
