      About the film, about Joseph Rossi

      (15/01/2022) Cinémathèque, Joseph Losey retrospective. Screening of Car Crash, followed by a presentation by Michel Ciment, moderated by Frédéric Bonnaud. Just a quick note of some of what Michel Ciment said. Not the words, but the meaning. The content in parentheses comes from myself.

      Hypocrisy is the passport of a civilized society


      Lens, composition, light and shadow are as subtle and refined as always, Rossi continues to describe the hypocrisy of the upper class in the West.
      Dirk Bogard maintains a tacit 'healthy competition' relationship with Stanley Baker, who is also a university professor. They scrambled to reach out to the Austrian princess who appeared elegant and intellectual but was actually debauched.
      Colleagues took the lead, and Bogard, who was unwilling to be behind, took advantage of the...

      In times of peace, love is the greatest adventure one can experience

      Of course it's not what I'm talking about.
          Nothing to do, write a few words to pass the time.
          A few days ago, while chatting at night, L inexplicably mentioned that the mid-life crisis and the sense of crisis of young people are similar, and both are problems that start to transition between the two stages.
          "When I was in high school, the post-90s generation became the focus of the conversation. At that time, I felt that I had stepped out of the historical stage." I...

      Arrested in Motion

      In 1951, in order to avoid the persecution of McCarthyism, Joseph Rossi left the United Kingdom, first established his reputation through a series of thrillers, but Rossi, who had worked for Brecht since his youth, did not give up his aesthetic pursuit. . He first collaborated with Harold Pinter in 1963 for The Servant, which immediately won three awards at the British Academy Awards the following year. Since then, Rossi has fully entered the heyday of personal creation, and Accident is the...

      The camera freezes, watching the house from outside the door, panning up a short, curving driveway across from the circular gravel courtyard.
      On the grass behind the house, the figures of domestic animals could be vaguely seen. The camera moves forward slowly and stops at a position inside the gate.

      The undercurrents surging beneath the surface of the elegant middle-class life, the ambiguous scenes covered with fine lines, the tension of the interlaced relationship structure, the suspense of the flashback setting, the prudent charm of the bourgeoisie; Accident not only refers to "car accident", but also accidentally participated in this incident. The spring dream in everyone's life has no trace; the sense of voyeurism and mystery is everywhere, and the sound of the paddle when rowing a...

      The essence of the Pinter drama is the structure and the absurd climax after the dark tide, both of which are lacking in the rather old-fashioned [accident]. Rousey's take on the New Wave style here seems too detached from the film itself, the Sunday house party scene that brings together the main characters because of the lack of continuity in the messy editing, and the threat behind it disappears. "Accidents" as the main motive of the film is too obvious. Of course, accidents are inevitable...

Stephen left home to relive his old dream with his ex-girlfriend. When he came back, he saw his colleague Charlie and a girl named Anna had built a love nest in their own house, and the storm was turning upside down....

    Background creation

    The film adopts a non-linear narrative structure, starting with Stephen's discovery of Anna Accident, and inserting a large part of Stephen's memory in the middle. This is the director's method of breaking the chronological order, and it has the influence of the French film master Resnais. The film tells the story of Stephen's middle-aged, suffering from the anger of the aristocracy. In his relationship with Anna, the lingering feeling...
