The dripping picture of the life of the bottom peasants made many Shanghai old aunts resentful. The spatial pattern of the story is quite intriguing. The image style segmentation and fusion of nature and personnel are easy to do. "Narayama Festival Kao" uses people as maggots, and "Clog Tree" restores people to people in nature and...

The power of "Wooden Clogs" comes from its beliefs. It adds a lot of tenderness to the peasants' hard life. Olmi's pictures are reminiscent of realist paintings, especially Miller's works. The sudden change of scenes in the second half of the film brings an important social and historical dimension to the film, and the charm is by no means as simple as "nostalgia" and "anti-modern" as some left-wing commentators call. The modern historical process has entered the feudal society with a...

Prose poetry, anti-climax, is only present, but the power is still surging under the trickle-like routine. The richly layered sound underscores this...

I still remember in Dreyer's "Words", "I believe that small miracles will happen quietly. God hears the prayer, but he quietly realizes it." It was like having a deep dream and returning to the poor farming countryside. At that time, most of the people were kind-hearted. , Suffering from pain, hard support. Everyone helps each other and the days are over. With the title "Geta Tree", it shows the charm of a poetic documentary film. The geta tree itself is just one point in the film, and it leads...

Most of the film shows the noisy, tired, laughing, and warm living conditions of the villagers who work for the landlord, but at the end it ends with a family tragedy. If a blow in the head makes people feel helpless, but this is also the bottom of the society. The fate that the people of the class cannot escape, they work hard to survive, but one day they will lose their qualifications to...

A beautiful countryside, a long life narrative, full of details. When I saw the part of killing pigs, I was familiar with almost every step, like the lively ceremony after the snow when I was a child, one after another. Just when it was about to feel beautiful, the devil escaped from hell and turned into sparks on the fire. Fear overflows from the...

Ermanni Olmi, 1978. This still-water-running film is indescribably sad. Poetic yet integrated into the lens of life, making life begin to talk to itself. There are births, marriages, all kinds of small accidents, and all kinds of cruelty like winter. It is a kind of life aspiration. Its poetic logic is displayed in the rotation of spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is the reproduction and struggle of life. It is the courage and spirit to really...

Pristine, despite being an extra, the performance is impressive, especially in a film where this kind of dialogue is reduced to the limit. I especially liked the atmosphere of the film and the pipe organ and chants interspersed in the film. The ending is...
