    Maybe it's really not finished! The rhythm is slow, the transitions are blunt, and many sidelines have no gain in structure and depth. The familiarity of the old drama reflects the rigidity of Japanese scheduling. The most embarrassing is that the ending is decorated with peace in the sweet and greasy soundtrack, so that the excavation of the truth is like a scratch, and the words are not...

    Is Branch returns to everyday family comedy. Using acting and writing to reshape the family relationship that refuses to let go of obsessions is a breakthrough from Zhi's career as an actor, and it also expresses a kind of flowing family affection very vividly. Fake, but also true. It's good for you, why isn't it good for you? The last scene of the people's turning back is typical of the branch mark. The text in the play is borrowed from Liu Yukun's "memories of my mother", all kinds of broken...

    Outside the play, in the play, and in the play, enjoy the wonderful taste of Triple Deneuve. Cass was right about everything. I love the scene where Deneuve walked the dog alone, but this making-of was actually released later. What's going on with Ethan Hawke? After marrying a French wife so many times, he still doesn't know how to speak...

    "In space, people don't grow old" The mother and daughter fantasize about being killed in Hitchcock's play, being written to die + Pierre who turned into a turtle... They are about to die of laughter, is Hirokazu-eda so humorous? Actors, galloping on the screen battlefield, but no match for real life...

    #SGIFF2019# I still like it very much. It is still Hirokazu Koreeda’s tone. The emphasis is on the details of family relationship conflicts and reconciliation. Moving to France is not against the harmony. The interaction between Binoche and the Hawke family is also too sweet. Don't trust memory, maybe that's not the...

    They also learned from Hou Hsiao-hsien, but Hirokazu-eda and Jia Zhangke took completely different directions on the road of becoming "masters". This can't help us sigh: why is the gap between artists and artists so big? As a filmmaker who has reached the pinnacle and has gone down in history, is there still room for improvement? It was Hirokazu-eda who was eager to know "The Truth" but also afraid to know the truth. In the bottleneck period, Branch probably wants to challenge and break through...

    "The truth is not important in family relationships, but feelings are important", the sci-fi mapping in the film and the memoir of lying all echo the theme of "truth", the concept is too strong, especially the little girl confesses to her grandmother at the end It's a stroke of genius, and it enhances the theme at once. The whole film is very much Hirokazu Koreeda! Even if it is not Japanese, even if there is no Japanese actor, I still recognize you! ! The sharp old mother is personable and...

    Of course we can detect Hirokazu Koreeda, but it is even more rare that the director lets go of himself to the actors and drifts into a certain French cinematic tradition. "Coffee Time" and "Red Balloon" are good, but they can make the audience forget that it is Hirokazu Koreeda, and unconsciously present another interesting aspect of the director. Perhaps instead, it allows us to see the other side of Hirokazu Koreeda as a director. Apart from the fact that the script is more or less like a...

    Fabienne's life is like a shadow of Catherine Deneuve. She is already famous, familiar, and old. At this time, her attitude and mentality towards life, family, work and other people are very sensitive and need to be understood. And the relationship between the family is very delicate, Binoche acts as an English-French intermediary to help the language barrier in the family. Everyone seems to have a certain degree of approximation to the truth in their words, but not enough to know. Through a...
