Songs from the Second Floor Comments

Roy Anderson is the Kafka of our time, but it's more comedic. This comedic effect comes from its focus on space: they suddenly push the audience away. [Singing from the second floor] has a distinctive feature that spans thousands of years. It shows the ridiculous and futile attempt of mankind to reconnect with the "upstairs" when history has reached its end. But in the end, people were left alone on this shore, scrutinized and tortured by the dead...

[#1200] The pursuit of extreme aesthetics is naturally good, but I think Anderson’s zombie-like action scheduling has to some extent eliminated the ironic effect he wants to achieve, and finally has to be expressed through language. The pessimism of the whole film is not only confused. Society dissolves the meaning of human beings. In this way, looking at the greatness of Chaplin and Tati, the audiovisual that transforms the ordinary into extraordinary is the real...

Roy Anderson is really a genius, this kind of crowded fixed-length lens mode is particularly difficult to shoot, not to mention, there are so many incredible laughs, most of them are very popular, although I probably still haven't seen all of them... even more amazing Yes, it’s funny, but it’s not a comedy. It’s about human being’s fear of the unknown in the millennium, and the precarious surface...

Unemployment, discrimination, violence and indifference, pedantic magic, marriage, traffic paralysis, fraudulent insurance money, poetry and reality, religion, real power, the living dead and ghosts... the film shows us with absurd stories and symbolic scenes. He is dissatisfied with "humanity, society, and religion". The chaotic life makes our souls...

Extremely obscure tragicomedy, fixed long shot from beginning to end. The objectification of people, the staging of scenery, and the hollowing of plot, everyone is a clown in the eyes of others. A very magical line: "The person who sits down is cute"... (After reading it, I feel like I have changed my...

The montage created by the two pictures of himself, entangled by the undead teenagers of World War II, the eldest son of the poet in the mental hospital, is not the fact that Adorno’s "After Auschwitz, writing poetry is barbaric", mankind suffered historical catastrophe In front of him, the expression is impossible, a body that language cannot carry? A symbolic theme is shot one by one, and the amount of critical information is actually very large, many of which are not understood and do not...

First of Roy Anderson's "Trilogy of Life", 2000 Cannes Jury Prize. The millennium panic + end-time apocalypse, the faith has fallen, the poet is crazy, the spirit is barren, and the material is supreme. It is still an absurd drama image of a white face group portrait, with sadness and despair in the cold humor. Except for one rear zoom lens (where the deceased was first met by the train), they are all fixed-position deep-focus long lenses. The group play scenes are well-arranged, and there are...

Although it is in the same line as "Hanzhi Quejing", it is still boring and boring in comparison, and the recent works are undoubtedly more determined and thorough. Even if they are philosophical, they still seem to understand or understand the audience at a glance, and they are basically directed. A reflection of ability. Roy Anderson thinks Bergman is not humorous, but in fact, he himself is not slowly...
