    With a realistic scale, the film zooms in on a tiny (medical) event that is accustomed to reality and painstaking details step by step, and presents the naked problem astonishingly. However, the rhythm of the whole film is too slow, especially in the first 90 minutes, people are sleepy, and the 153-minute length of the film seems too long....

    The Romanian New Wave, the astonishing power of real time slowly erupting, die alone reveals the only common situation of human beings - aging into a rotten flesh, and no one can escape. Compared with such pain, the pain of "Pain and Glory" has added a thousand layers of fancy filters. Pain is never glory. It is only when the disease is revealed that he realizes that he is also part of the social environment that abandoned and ridiculed him, part of the group's...

    The great thing is that the hand-held long lens creates real time without making people feel redundant at all. The transition of the scene is actually more like a dramatic transition, but it makes people feel extremely real, which is the director's skill. The content of the film is also worth pondering. On the one hand, it is a satire of the medical system; on the other hand, it makes people feel the pain and anxiety of the elderly when they are dying. hope. The more sophisticated the machine,...

    The equivalent time is closer to the splicing of several live broadcasts in one day, so it is not a random norm, and closer to the best time period carefully selected by multiple groups, it is difficult to draw conclusions about the daily scene in Romania. I really like the casting of the protagonist, the whole body, especially the face, is swollen and seems to be split at any...

    After watching it, it was uncomfortable. The whole process of holding the camera and the semi-documentary filming told (more precisely, like a record) the process of an elderly living alone from the disease to the medical treatment. It reflects the corrupt medical insurance system and medical system, which is of great practical...

    It's almost a documentary film, and sometimes you can't even feel the existence of the camera, and hide the perspective and position, all the daily trivialities, and now it's even more interesting. Only by using this method can make the audience feel more and more tormented and anxious as time goes by and space changes, and the ending can only be speechless. Responsibility and right or wrong in this life and death can no longer be discussed. Can only feel the problems of the entire medical...

    Puyou's breakthrough masterpiece, Romanian New Wave; real time (tossing and tormenting), hand-held panoramic long-lens, low-light natural light effects - the crisis test around, concerns every ordinary person. Documentary style, the stubborn character of the elderly and the backward medical system are all truly...
