    It feels a bit like a collection of Kaorismaki. The dramatic elements in the previous works can be described as comprehensive and row upon row. The difference is that this one makes more use of genre bridges, making the common commercial element of "amnesia" become sticky. Mixture, tricky to make the film more fluid than ever. Two details are impressive: the steel mask and the hospital's waking atmosphere, and the portrait of...

    Especially mature, there is a sense of calmness of an old man, and the color matching and lighting are very comfortable. I also like the story very much. It is simple and has a lot of room for development, and it is indeed very clever. The whole story has a stupid sense of purity. The contrast formed after learning the original image of "man" made him look quite handsome. Aki is a master at playing with rhythm, and it's so comfortable (it's just a bit short and stops abruptly, it doesn't seem...

    The marshmallow-like cumulonimbus clouds in the clear sky near the water, and the sprouted potato planted in the open space next to the container are all very similar to the familiar life in Yunnan. These two details alone deserve a four-star rating or...

    @小西天. A relatively lighthearted installment of the failure trilogy. Losing one's identity and losing one's name naturally means losing one's position in a structured modern society. But returning to the purely human level is still an opportunity for rebirth. We were really relieved to find it back in the past, but then we discovered that even if we couldn't find it, so what? More healing than love, of course, is the unity of the proletarians of the world. No, you don't need the whole world,...

    "God only bestows those who go to heaven, and we have to help each other on earth." Finnish turned out to be tongue-in-cheek, and I began to think it was a Russian movie. . . Losing his memory instead allowed him to start his life again, full of hope for everything. Love at this time is especially precious and...
