The films of the Darney brothers have a strong DOGMA95 style, and they also like to focus on the theme of diaosi. There is no soundtrack, but it increases the sense of realism. Thinking of chatting with friends about movies not long ago, I inadvertently said, "If 90% of horror movies don't have soundtracks, wouldn't they all become funny movies." Think about it...

@Broadway moma. The father-son relationship in this film is both typical and unusually ambiguous (especially the details of the father giving his son a ring and wishing his son to call his name instead of his father), which makes the teenager's "betrayal" more complicated than conscience. A heavy mental test. Finally, in the Levinas-style "face to face", the silence of the black women after learning the truth has spread to the end of the credits, with great strength. After the screening, the...

Hand-held photography that is light, natural, and full of attention and emotion, coupled with the emotional pursuit and moral struggle of the protagonist, calmly shows the realistic tone of various social issues, all of which make people think. However, the problems of the Darney brothers in the play have not been solved. The events that promote the development of the entire plot and the internal logic of the film cannot stand prudent scrutiny, and the script has a weak foundation! This makes...

Natural light, hand-held photography, natural, clean and refined, just like a follow-up...

Although I feel that reflecting the problems existing in the real society may increase the possibility of problems being paid attention to and even being solved, the complex reality has repeatedly proved that the evil of human nature cannot disappear, and some problems are often difficult to solve. Three scenes in the film that touched my tear glands: 1. When a black mother was tying her "shoelaces", a man urinated on her on the bridge, and then drove a motorcycle to run over her luggage...

The Darney brothers' style in those years was not as unified as the subsequent works, but retained relatively more editing and scene changes. The advantage is that in Danet's works, the key lines are always revealed naturally in a way that is not provocative. However, because of the consistent fragmented narrative, the story's origins still appear abrupt. The biggest problem is that the "promise" as the title of the film lacks emphasis or is insignificant in the film, and does not affect the...

In the process of watching it, I felt that although the hand-held and the play were very good, I still felt that it was not enough to win the Palme d'Or, because there are not many people who can achieve this level. Among them, there are still many assumptions and clichés in the plays. However, I was shocked to see the ending. It should have been a choice between leaving silently or killing the boy, and finally chose to go back. The emotionality brought about by the level of indifference in...

Sin is derived from the protection of self-interest, thus sinking deeper and deeper. The earlier works of the Darney brothers are more dramatic, always hand-held, with a strong sense of presence. The brothers' stories and actors have subtle continuations in their sequences, and they're keen to do so, maybe they're looking for life to pass on in different films. The lives of the characters seem to live outside of the movie as...

Darnay's film world is more of an interpretation of human nature (it has established moral and value positions), rather than an exploration of the boundaries and standards of morality itself. Within this framework, they have pushed the polish of the play and the control of the actors to a certain level of precision. This ostensible naturalism is based on a very meticulous work. The small cost of Dane can be learned through years of hard...
