    This movie is also a horror movie for me. In addition to the ubiquitous smell of death, what is even more terrifying is the same immature older sister's cognition of her younger sister showing off her growing up and provoking death. The loess in the wilderness, the candles in the red window, and the power of the bright yellow can turn into a Frankenstein to stifle yesterday's...

    With just the right balance of emotional delicacy, with eyes, expressions and gestures instead of words, no other film can compare. I don't see any so-called metaphors in this film.

    Uncle projectionist misses the best movie, only to see Frankenstein in a nightmare. The biology teacher told the heart and lungs not to get confused, but told me to fill in the vacant eyes. My father told us that the poisonous mushrooms that we cannot eat are fat and attractive, and the letters sent by my mother to a distant place were burned to ashes by the fire. This is destined to be a lonely childhood look back. The uncle who broke into the lonely house by the well has a pocket watch to...

    D+ / The film presents a contradiction in the distribution of perspectives: on the one hand, the child serves as the main clue to turn the surrounding into a still life that fits the passage of time, and this stagnation constitutes the "original" general viewing; on the other hand, the former Instead, this trivial stacking of the squeezed adult sub-lines and the overall omniscient narrative of the film seems to deliberately block the flow between sections, and the "daily" is exposed as a...
