    Brushing it twice in a row is so much fun. The sound outside the frame produces a wonderful dislocation of stagnant time and space, a top-level expression of the director's existence for Other. Power is played, identity is disintegrated by postcolonialism, modernity is embedded in the text like a fragmented narrative, and the dark and humid South American style is the quagmire that makes Zama alienated but deeply...

    To be fair, this has the same meaning as [Headless Woman]. Of course, after changing the protagonist to a male, there is a richer context and space, and there are many details in the whole environment in "nature", which is indeed an...

    [B-] The limited field of view of a large number of medium shots and scene frames makes the image atmosphere more and more cramped, and the delicate ambient sound effects not only increase the sense of substitution, but also virtually set up a regional cage for the audience. The dull tone in the first half is washed away by the bright tropical scene in the second half, forming a magical conflict with the fate of the characters within the play. In the end, Zama's situation is undoubtedly...

    The technique is really awesome. In addition, I would like to thank Mrs. Annie for her point, which made me pay special attention to the editing's control of the focus of the picture and the scene, which is quite...

    #HKIFF# (17/10/15 BIFF first brush) Second brush. Watching Zama after watching the first few films feels even more special: proof that Martel's signature approach (style) can be applied to a historical drama/man/adaptation. Zama's being trapped in the colony is no different from other movie heroines trapped in hotels or those subjective voices trapped inside their...
