Old Joy

Minimalism and a feminine perspective fit comfortably

Minimalism and the female perspective fit together quite comfortably in this work. Absorbed and improved the absurd temperament of Gus Van Sant's "Ruffian in the Desert", Yo La Tengo's soundtrack is not weak, and the photography is combined with the use of Naomi Kawase's "Funeral Forest" to depict the forest. The scene of soaking in the hot spring is even more precious to reveal the unique poetry in oriental movies. In the second feature film, Reichardt has initially established the author's...

Pleasure is fleeting, yesterday is forever

only yesterday

Reichardt likes to use radio broadcasts to render the era and status, as in "A Certain Woman" and in this film as well. There are media discourses about society and politics on the radio, and the state of the two men is also in line with the anxiety era under the bombardment of all kinds of information, from town to mountain forest, from modern to primitive, from hustle to silence. This two-person trip can be regarded as a recovery, to find the joy of yesterday, to find the...

A tear-shaped universe

Compared with the clear break, the seemingly vague connection in the friendship makes people more overwhelmed. After experiencing the absurdity and indulgence of youth, he has to face today's courtesy and embarrassment. Time has built a high wall, and no one wants to push it reluctantly. Kurt wants a reckless adventure, Mark is burdened by his family, and Kurt's visceral confession fails to provoke Mark's response. Their relationship is like Kurt's metaphor—a tear-shaped...

Yesterday's hot spring deep in the jungle

The first brief period of confusion for most people comes when they graduate from high school, and the distance between old friends and themselves is extended to schools, cities and even countries. Along with this process are changes in preferences, circles of friends and outlook on life. Many years later, at the class reunion, someone will talk about that so-and-so is not as humorous as before, or that people who used to text each other all night now have nothing in common with them. the...

The viewing process is like receiving a New Year's bath. The overflowing silent sadness and fragility are like the breeze in the mountains, invisible but really touching people's hearts. Sorrow is nothing but worn-out...

The hot spring scene was pretty good. Kelly Reichardt has a rare temperament in American movies, an anomaly in the vulgar...

One of the most beautiful films in history. Kelly Reichardt is the Cezanne of our time, painting inconspicuous scenes and people, multi-perspective/non-perspective, grabbing clear shape and speed from impression. Kurt wandered down the street, slipping out of frame accidentally. Sorrow is nothing but worn-out...

8.3 In fact, the whole film is always filled with inexplicable sadness, and the current affairs news is the most obvious one after another, but did Reichardt dig these gaps? Interesting conversations and quiet outings, embellished by nature, have endless aftertastes. When we enter the world again, we will know what old joy...
