      The bloody rape and murder case tore apart the ugly humanity!

      I spent 2.5 hours today, patiently finished watching the French movie "Human Nature". What haunted my mind for a long time was the useless face of the hero.

      The rhythm of the film is very slow, with a long close-up of the male protagonist's face, listening to him gasping for breath, there is basically no soundtrack, and the monotony of life is deliberately created. The male protagonist is middle-aged, his wife and daughter died unexpectedly, he lives with his mother, and he is a...

      Chen Wei's Commentary on "Son of Man" and "Human Nature"

      In essence, Bruno Dumont's concept of shooting is very close to the French "New Novel", which can almost be called a "New Novel" of cinematization. But that doesn't mean you don't have to watch Bruno Dumont's films if you know the "New Novel" very well. After all, the "New Novel" doesn't have too many restrictions outside of some big ideas about the innovation of traditional novels. , and more emphasis on the unique personality of each artist. Claude Simon and Rob Grillet belong to the same...

      L'Humanite - Surveillance Everywhere

      Textual Interpretation
      Freud's interpretation of the metaphorical mechanism of dreams, the id escapes the scrutiny of the superego through the substitution of analogies. Roland Barthes's interpretation of writing is similar to Freund's metaphorical mechanism, that is, the discourse of consciousness is like a manuscript on which the original text is covered by the second text, and we can see the former through the gap of the latter. And this film talks about human nature like this second...

      Dumont's most "good-looking" one

      Du Meng's most "good-looking" movie should also be regarded as the one with the most character dialogue. Dressed in the body of a police and bandit detective film, it has a strong suspenseful color, but the essence is constantly exploring love and moral issues, of course, the most crucial "human nature". Such heavy themes have always been a commonplace in French art films, and when directed by a philosophy professor, it exudes a sense of extreme depression and despair.

      What I...

      Three and a half. In one fell swoop, he won the Grand Jury Prize and Best Actor and Actress at the Cannes Film Festival. The early Dumont was still a bit interesting, with slow shots and restrained expressions. There is one particular favorite in the film. When the "Eurostar" passed by, Pharaon yelled, as if to vent his...

      I've been wanting to watch it for a long time, and I finally finished it on mubi today! Du Meng really has his own set of unique skills. It's rambunctious and quiet, restrained and...

    Evaluation action

    "L'humanité" is more of a calm and depressing atmosphere, which is the personal style of the film's director Bruno Dumont. The two-and-a-half-hour-long film, with its slow and lengthy narration, is a test of the audience's patience with its meticulous portrayal of the details of daily life. The film is a work full of naturalistic style, rejecting all subjective romantic imagination, exaggeration and lyrical description as much as...
