    It is a euphemism to beautify the children of the poor early. The truth is that the children of such people are counted by their parents as part of their own productivity from birth, not the sons of their fathers, but the possessions of the masters. This film is close to Ira's style in the 1960s, with de-emotional line drawing, on-the-spot framing, and amateur performance, but there are often surreal dislocations of sound and picture, such as the diffuse inner monologue of each person, not the...

    The rough image, the confrontation with the patriarchy, seems to have come a long way, putting aside the old ignorant concept, but has it really become a completely new person? Did it really expel the shadow of the father's power? No, we can't really escape, we can only always carry trauma and fear, it is always there, the oak tree that symbolizes 'evil' has long been rooted in our...

    The Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1977, a very strange film, the collapse of patriarchy in essence, frequent voiceovers and music interspersed to bring new reality into the atmosphere of magic, very stylized work, But it also loses a bit of the country...

    The plot is adapted from the true story of Italian linguist and novelist Giavino Leda, who was originally a shepherd in Sardinia. He was illiterate before the age of 20, and then volunteered to join the army because of his father's lewd power. A paoze in the army taught him to read and write, which changed his spiritual world. After being discharged from the army, he went to university to study Chinese, and then returned to his hometown to use his knowledge to fight against his...

    The Taviani brothers endow the film's protagonist, Gavinolai, with a religious divinity, which comes from a certain spiritual power within him. The unique poetic temperament and religious sense of the film come from the protagonist's flowing thoughts and the matching empty shots of the natural environment. At the same time, the music full of ritual sense also plays a great role in creating and rendering the atmosphere. The film is about a complex but moving emotional story between a father and...
