Children are always the best narrators, reminiscent of the Tin Drum. There are sunny days and it looks beautiful. There are many details that feel familiar, like couples sleeping in single beds, having sex interrupted by children who end up sleeping between them. A family of four is more familiar, like Zhang Damin or Lan Kite. In short, Sarajevo and Beijing are heart-to-heart. But just as foreigners can't read many Chinese movies, the details need historical...

"Aung San Suu Kyi" and "Taxi Driver" have been banned, is this one still missing? The most unfathomable part of China is that it can not only ban its own things, but also other people's things. The next step is to go to other people's land and ban other people's...

The performance of the child is really eye-catching and cute. I have experienced many changes in the family. I have witnessed many times of my father's derailment. I have experienced a pure love and a painful parting. escape for a...

The exile and the end of my father's exile are full of dark humor and drama, but for a socialist audience like us, it is extremely heavy. Son Mick's sleepwalking looks like a huge political metaphor. Those fears and helplessness under totalitarianism are like a dream that cannot be woken up. The narrative is a little loose, but Ku’s works still have quality...

When I read it, I kept thinking of the words "sadness is so big". Life is that you can't hang yourself and laugh at yourself, but I'd rather take pictures of two children naked in the bathtub and close-up of their reproductive organs... I'm sorry for the close-up of children's organs...

The five-star masterpiece is really good. At that time, Kusturica had not yet formed a carnival style. It was lyrical and very sad. The family changes in political history were not as fast as they were later, but they were very quiet and delicate, and in the end it was still a wedding. The scene, but there is no lively music, there is no commotion, but the outburst of sadness. Sigh,...

The 9/10 photography and montage had ideas, a bit of a geeky feel, but the plot was set up a little bit...

4.5 Palme d'Or works. Yugoslavia through the lens of Kusturica. The music is as strong as ever~! Tragic national joy of life. Sleepwalking children are like people in a centralized state. A good mother is the collection of all consciences. This movie reminds me of The Blue...
