      girl returning alone at night

      The British female director Anna Lily Amipoel, who lives in the United States, went to Iran to film "The Girl Returning Alone at Night" (2014), mixing magic, vampires and reality into one, presenting the precious poetry of black and white images.

      In fact, this is a deserted town with no specific direction. The dark night is its main color, but it concentrates the most decadent way of life in modern times: nightclubs, drugs, usury, gambling,...

      A girl walks home alone at night

      I went to see the premiere of this film today at the London Film Festival and had a conversation with the director himself. I would like to emphasize the following points to help everyone understand this film more:
      1. The director himself is an Iranian-American living in LA but This film actually has nothing to do with Iranian culture and society. The film's set is in a small town near LA and the main inspration of this film comes from "My Heart is Wild" and "Once upon the time in the...

      There is also quite a chance to become the second Sofia Coppola

      With the shadow of Jarmusch and Wong Kar-wai, the music selection is very particular. The beginning is very attractive, and the suspenseful atmosphere is well-established, but as the plot develops, the elements of romantic films surface, and it does not feel so interesting. The discussion of women's own themes will stop at first glance. After all, he is not a director born in Iran, and it cannot be compared with "I grew up in Iran". However, the way the female director creates an atmosphere is...

      2015 Supplementary Review

      Three points, one point for the cat, one point for the photography, and one point for the subtle flash points in the plot, the handsome and beautiful main and supporting characters, and some of the soundtracks. The composition of black and white shots and weird and terrifying angles is reminiscent of the style of experimental films in the last century, but at least there is a theme for deep discussion. Later, the theme came, the vampire girl and the drug dealer fell in love and...

      It's extremely empty, but the director's energy is so contagious. The robe replaces the vampire's cape, the skateboard makes wind under her feet, and what's wrong with vampires who can't fly? The cliché of the story has added a layer of appeal. The music is excellent, and the style is complex but it fits perfectly with the temperament of the film, especially the "time to say goodbye in a song", which is so...

    Evaluation action

    Audiences who wondered how a movie with so much sex, drugs, and rock and roll could have been made under the noses of an authoritarian theocratic regime would be disappointed. "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night" isn't strictly an Iranian film, and the film's The United States of America pedigree might undercut its illicit aura, but even so, it's a stylish, well-crafted masterpiece. Amipur creates an ebullient postmodern work, yet...
