Reconstructing memory with images is neither real history nor fictional stories, but poetry. Poems are written by the world, but discovered by poets. Poets best capture the beauty of this world in its moving...

4.5; In the form of travel letters as narration, prose poems between the real and the false, with Eliot's "I know time is always time, space is always space" as the benchmark text, to explore how memory rewrites history and how personal memory is used. Fake collective memory replaces, sculpted time's final image. The film clips are inserted into the actual shooting records, and it is better to cite Vertigo to reflect the "vortex of time". The train of the city gathers the fragments of the...

Only very few directors can achieve this style of self-discipline. It seems that someone who has experienced the end of the world has picked up some fragments of memory again, and obviously knows that they are useless. It's more like a brainwashed person who reluctantly expresses the remaining pain in his heart. Japan's 3S: Business, Violence,...

The film festival really felt that many of Mark's works can no longer be called "documentaries", but prose films and poetry films. Compared with the other films, which may give people the image of a cold and mysterious intellectual, this one is really very personal and very romantic. The dialogue is all letters, and there is a sigh from time to time; he likes cats, so he looks for cats everywhere. And their own children. Where the mind goes, the camera goes, so...

It's still half a year away, but it's probably my favorite movie I've seen this year. Eliot's words about time and space quoted in the title run almost throughout the whole book. If the thinking about time and space (history, geography, society) is such a big frame as a river, those detailed narratives, records and letters are just water. The sparkling, beautiful, not weak narcissism, but a more hard beauty. My favorite place is also here, to borrow Eliot's phrase, the consciousness of history...

Narrator: As for the students, some massacred each other in the mountains in the name of revolutionary purity, while others had studied capitalism so thoroughly to fight it that they now provide it with its best executives.

Narrator: The first image he told me about was of three children on a road in Iceland in 1965. He said that for him that it was the image of happiness and also that he had tried several times to link it to other images. But, it never worked. He wrote me, "One day I'll have to put it all alone at the beginning of a film with a long piece of black leader. If they don't see happiness in the picture, at least they'll see the black."
