    Whether it's the narrative of the characters' history at the beginning, the large push-pull transitions at the back, and the continuation of the voice-over and the characters' lines in the painting, it all shows that this is really a film that tries to fully fit the original novel from the linguistic level. It is from this point of view that Tony Takiya's audio-visual is indeed very special, much stronger than the general novel adaptations. But full of loneliness is still quite LOW haha. The...

    A man's lonely life. Hidetoshi Nishijima's slow narration, Ryuichi Sakamoto's cool soundtrack, and the cool picture of minimalist composition quickly bring people into the lonely life of the hero who looks like Haruki Murakami. He lived a life of one person like painting his favorite fine mechanical illustrations, and the constantly moving camera swept the loneliness of his life page by page like a slide show. There have been sparks flashing and notes jumping in them, but they can't escape the...

    Highly condensing the "wabi-sabi" and "sorrows of things" in Japanese aesthetics, Tony Takiya's life unfolds like a scroll in a parallel-moving lens, with nothing but loneliness and loneliness. Most of the shots have extremely subtle, tasteful compositions, creating a world with no sea horizon and a strong sense of space above and below. What is more questionable is that in the process of adapting Haruki Murakami, Jun Ichikawa recited a large number of declarative descriptions (including the...

    Subtitles: Lai Mingzhu/Most of the time, the picture is blurry - even the subtitles are blurry. When they are almost finished, they are suddenly adjusted. After they are clear, they lose a certain charm. At the same time, I also feel the irresponsibility of the projectionist. Unhappy (It turns out that it can be adjusted) / There is a so-called "Murakami feeling", a lonely person finds someone who can connect him with the world, and then loses it. I like all kinds of empty mirrors that are...

    051112 (Golden Horse) / 060611 It turns out that the editor of Unfair and the drowning man, Mr. Hidetoshi Nishijima, are the narrators! Then there is the love white paper, Songgang, who has a crush on the living room! !

    I was at the China Film Archive on the day of the movie, and I didn't expect that I would be able to watch this kind of literary and artistic film so patiently. Maybe you are used to loneliness, and you can experience the loneliness that the movie wants to...

    Archives. Mirror movement is smooth and stylized. With the melody of "solitude", Tony's lonely heart is constantly externalized. The metaphor of clothes is associated with humans and the soul. Several passages of getting along with his wife are full of aesthetic beauty, which also fits the character setting of Tony's painter. The most commendable thing is that the creation of this sense of loneliness is not pretentious, because the director puts the whole background in 1946, a special node in...
