    The sense of record is very strong, and there are so many long shots. When telling a story about making a film, reality and imagery will always loomingly overlap. A large verdant olive tree, silent and silent, as if the hope of the country of Iran rising again after the...

    Expanding from the episode of "Life and Flow" into a chapter, the core lies in the remake paragraph that keeps shouting Cut. The repetition of the lines in the play, combined with the emotional changes of the characters' realistic lines, superimposes them to produce a different feeling, even a very special new "montage" effect. Directors who have been making films for many years are prone to fall into self-repeating clichés, but Abbas found inspiration during the filming process, using the film...

    It's two films in one shot with "Life and Life". Abbas's genius allows a film made for a film to be separated from the film made. Is what the camera records a real fiction, a fictional fiction, or a reality. true? Although the pattern of this film is relatively small for men and women to court, but looking back on many shocking scenes in the life and growth, I believe that it was Abbas who observed the pair of men and women, seconds...

    The Koker trilogy constitutes a complex and wondrous world where fantasy and reality coexist. This time, it was the youth's unrelenting pursuit, as well as the presentation of a large number of filming: casting, trouble with non-professional actors, onlookers, repeated NGs, disputes over transportation... The ending is great, turn over We crossed the familiar Z-shaped hillside, passed through an olive grove, chased the trail for a long time, and then turned back. For a long time, a wide space,...

    7/10. The long shot of the scenery in front of the car in the dialogue between the teacher and the screenwriter in the opening film never shows his face, only flashes when he gets off the car. The conversation between the male and female protagonists on the small balcony is blocked by the voice of the crew, and the human voice becomes a suspense that interferes with the audience's desire to find out; The boy who is reading a book/in the back mirror holding flowers, the blurred funeral and the...

    8.5/10 My fifth Abbas film, the final chapter of its "Hometown Trilogy", is still an extremely wonderful author's film, even if I can describe it as "amazing" after watching it. The ingenious play is nested within the previous work "Life and Flow", the virtual and the real, the true and the false, the repeated scenes, the dialogue, and the entanglement from different sides and different angles. The camera and the eyes are integrated into one, and Abbas's aloof temperament makes people stunned...

    9/10, how to understand Godard's statement that "movies stop at Abbas" can start with a philosophical term: phenomenological reduction. It is just like Marx who abstracted all social categories and penetrated into the ultimate Marxism. What Abbas has accomplished is to get rid of the film within the scope of the film and restore the essence of the film: cognition. Abbas' theme is "Knowledge". So Abbas' film solves only one problem, and that is: how to use the film as a tool of knowledge to...

    The viewing experience is amazing! Even aside from the authorship of the images and Abbas's structuralist installation aesthetics, this ethnologically modern Iranian version of the "Jianjia" text is enough to make people feel comfortable....
