    The 8.5 lens is very beautiful, and the shot is very delicate. Imamura Changhei used symbols to describe the changes in the situation and mood of the eel and the protagonist Yamashita many times, and also mysteriously added the details of aliens. Through a sense of isolation and a sense of mission, Yamashita's psychological barriers were more three-dimensionally reacted. Imamura's exaggerated expression makes Yamashita's experience mysterious and unreal. The presence of a few supporting...

    In the middle part, there will be some narrative entanglements that fall into the norm, but all the previous characters are used quickly. The group portraits are no longer presented separately but concentrated and blasted, and the group drama climaxes one after another. The fireworks and fish ended. The metaphor of the kindergarten is deeply remembered. The role played by Bing Benming is the view of the essence of human beings, but it seems to be warm and warm. A master is a true...

    The first half of 7.2/10 did not meet the standard of Imamura Shohei at all. Whether it was scheduling or rhythm, it was almost unbearable. The appearance of the eel was rather blunt. The side-painting of the village was also not up to standard, but the middle section started surprisingly gradually becoming attractive. The UFO who can't wait, the gangster who drives a Suzuki convertible like a toy car who can't receive the protection fee, and the boatman. This kind of "hidden village" completes...

    The male protagonist was released on bail and opened a barber shop hoping to return to normal life. On the way, he met a desperate woman, and the two healed each other. A flat, pale redemption story. The ideas of some details are good, but they are not presented enough. Treating the eel as a friend is more of a kind of imprisonment, and the final release is also to liberate the male protagonist himself - no development; the male protagonist is guilty of himself. The positioning and the...

    Imamura Shohei's warmest one. The characters' alienation, loneliness, and depression are hidden behind the warm sunshine, green fields, and warm streams. Not as sharp, a little less power. Only the slippery autumn eels are always...

    #2021BJIFF# ​​Non-extended non-repaired film, with embedded English characters, with aging and whitening, and the content can be generally seen in night scenes. The light and softness refracted by film in daytime scenes is nostalgic. It is understood that this will be the last film screening of the Beijing Film Festival. After the screening, some people suggested that the order of the two volumes was reversed. Personally, I felt that there was a problem with the fourth and fifth volumes. The...
