"It's not true that no one likes poetry, they just pretend they...

Long takes with elements that come and go slowly, with rhythm and eerie effect like a long-simmering symphony. How much worry about the society has been suffocated, and all of them have been scolded. The narrative and characters and elements of the world are exquisitely refined. Poets in asylums; breeding in golf clubs; children killed after rigorous testing; magic no longer working; pursuits of the past. The last scene was strong. Equally strong should happen to poets, magicians, and...

If good looks are the first selection factor, the film's performance is...

4.5, it would be a waste to "interpret" Roy Anderson's films as absurd satires only. Although there are many implied humors, allegories and various references in each scene, they are not presented in text, but are based on the beautiful and interesting spatial scheduling in fixed shots, and the narrative and depth of field at various levels Movement is often combined with the division of sound and picture to complete sensory mobilization. Naturally, when watching movies, you should first focus...

It took two years to watch the film, and this time I finally finished it. The advertising director's sense of form is really good enough. Poetic and grotesque about the loss of love and faith in society is just too hypnotic....

Those who sit still are lovely, and those who struggle to find freedom are futile. Those who bear the burden of humiliation are cute, and the little girls sacrificed by the country and the people are "small enough to be less than a crumb of bread". When I say this, I probably only express a layer of sneezing like dust floating in the attic. Just take a look at it. This film outlines step by step the exhaustion that I have piled up in my heart and have no time to clean up. People are limited by...

A grotesque-style movie made up of short stories. The group performance is free from the inside and outside of the screen (although it is viewed on a computer), and the screen switches between stillness and pulling, depicting a cool sci-fi color. The surreal scene of urban predicament forces people to have nowhere to go, confusion and sobriety are intertwined, involving the helplessness of individuals in the larger environment. The sense of design is too rushed, the overall look is a bit loose,...

8.5/10. ①The stories of various people point to criticism of modern Western society: middle-aged men who are unemployed and defrauding insurance, husbands whose wives cheat, poets who write poetry and write crazy, priests who are on the verge of bankruptcy due to stock falls, etc. ②A kind of "cold" temperament, rendering techniques such as: the characters are all white, all except one are fixed with deep focus and long shots, the setting is empty and deserted, and the color tone is quite cold....

Roy Anderson is a very peculiar director. He is the kind of person who can recognize his work without hesitation with just one shot. Anderson's characters, fixed long shots, makeup, etc. are all very prominent, and the theme has always been unified. : Fragmented modern Western society...

Roy Anderson always makes these scary movies, but how well this one is made! It can be analyzed frame by frame, line by line; in the face of the environment and our situation that have come to this point, after a long period of cultural, political, economic and religious evolution and influence, this is what remains, but human beings can how? The horror and powerlessness in the absurd makes people sad and...
