The exiled eels have no memories, and the lonely men and women redeem each...

Putting the adultery murder in the front and starting the follow-up in a soothing tone, the overall atmosphere is very good. The use of colors (especially red) is worthy of attention. There are also several expressions that explain the use of light sources and the consistent use of fish tanks (and the meaning of frogs and eels, dancing aunts, UFOs). After a beginning that is difficult to surpass and dissolve, there is no preaching leading to a new possibility in the slow performance, which is...

In fact, the director can trust the audience more without explaining so much. The opening and closing scenes were good, and the woman finally replaced the...

"What the film conveys is to understand one’s own animality and thus to understand the animality of others. It’s not so much forgiving, but rather accepting and acknowledging, acknowledging that the ex-wife’s princess came out of the wall, acknowledging his jealousy, acknowledging Watanabe’s love, and The child in her belly, etc. This recognition is different from asking for forgiveness. Forgiveness is the advanced wisdom of humans, while acceptance is the instinct of animals."-Director of...

Hallucinations, animals, lively little people, moist breath by the water. Eel's situation is synchronized with the murderer's mood. His life has been monitored, and his separation from the outside world is like the person waiting for aliens. The barber shop was very noisy, and the fish tank that symbolized the cage was smashed and released under fireworks at night. Imamura’s second golden palm, sharing the taste of...

Except for the evil spirit that is unique to Imamura, the whole film is so warm that I almost tremble. The last few paragraphs even have the illusion that I was watching Yoji Yamada's film. I was really moved to the soundtrack and brightened. The only annoying is the use of eel is really long-winded, otherwise it would be to me. It's...

t5e3c98468 Imamura seems to like to do ridiculous things when he gets old, which is also good. But a farce + happy ending is boring. The fish and desire are not shown, and the split personality is too weird to...

What a boring film, how could it get Palme d’Or? What's so great about killing a wife, you have to use the eel as a metaphor, nerves. Alas, I recently discovered that watching these movies is really getting more and more boring. Just read the...

Knowing that meddling during bail will cause trouble, I still can't stand by. A true warrior knows that he can't do it. Although there are thousands of people, I will go for it. The symbolic meaning of the eel is many yuan, it is the genitals, it is the lust, falling on the characters in the film is the stabbed wife, but also the mountain himself who is confined in the past (prisoned in a cage). Realism and fantasy are intertwined, and the vision is vivid, especially when the fish tank becomes...

11th BJIFF No.27, 9.26@小西天. The last film screening. The North Film Festival next year may be gone. The Heisei era was so terrible, even Imamura Shohei has become healed and refreshed. The snail girl is the heroine, no matter how bitter you are, you can heal it. The eel is too ingenious and ingenious to like the core...
