    The grotesque plot can be interpreted in many ways. I just like the video style of Eshi Kawara Hiroshi, I'm...

    It can be seen as a male version of the forbidden room, but it is much more restrained. The sand lens that constantly emerges in the film and the black and white film have a wonderful chemical reaction. The large number of close-ups make the texture of the sand and the texture of the skin complement each other. The sand is A wonderful thing that is sometimes ugly and sometimes...

    4.5, an extreme. The almost invulnerable form is easily associated with "Masquerade". The expressive power of the mirror language can be seen through the back of the paper, and the space gives a strong sense of compression, dissecting human nature. Sand is like an insulator for human beings—the imprisonment of desire and the imprisonment of...

    It's not as good-looking as I expected, but it's really amazing, the Japanese films of that era are enough NB! The shooting of the quicksand scenes in the film is very beautiful and shocking, the photography and composition are unusual (never seen before) and powerful, the small space secret room scene, the discussion about human nature and why it survives, confusion and struggle, although the story is not the same. It's not complicated, but the connotation that this movie wants to express is...

    Very shocking! It has to be a horror movie, because the entire viewing process was filled with fear. The cross-border background of the director Hiroshi Kawara (the third-generation head of the flower arrangement, the stage design, the director, and the oil painting) created a variety of memorable directions for this highly symbolic film. The male protagonist, the female protagonist, the villagers and the unreachable Tokyo outline a world where "despair-hope" transforms each other and there are...

    Imprisoned in a closed mountain village and digging sand in exchange for water and food, or escaping from the mountain village and working tirelessly in the city in exchange for water and food, which is more free? People think that they can break free from the old shackles and gain new freedom, but once they struggle for a long time, they become numb and inevitably indulge in the warm temptation of the old cage. And even if you escape from the old cage, do you know that you are not trapped in a...

    Kishida Kyoko is really suitable to play such a submissive and self-righteous woman, whether it is in "Wan Zi" or this "Sand Girl", she is full of heavy desires to be fiddled...

    If Tarkovsky's film poems are a drop of water reflecting the whole world, then Hiroshi Kawara's Sand Girl has brought camels to the dry and dry...

    This is a very metaphorical film, desert, mine, man, woman. . . Shows the struggle, compromise and submission between male and female societies. But in my opinion it's a scary movie because he confronts the essence of the horror of...

    philosophical cinematic expression

    A few years ago, the first time I saw this movie, I classified it as a forbidden room series, with the theme of freedom and imprisonment. Looking at it now, I find that the depth and breadth of the expression of this film is far more than that. The movie has not changed, what has changed is the...

    The meaning of sand shoveling

    After reading "Sand Girl", I take a deep breath, it's a classic! Just as the fireworks bloomed, the subversion of the mind was connected with the beauty of the outside world, and I felt extremely satisfied.
         The broad and profound philosophical connotation, the grotesque expression, and the...
