      watching a play a life

      I have never been able to resist the absurd and grotesque movies, I just love them. Don't delve into the historical changes she expressed, the ideological reality. I just feel curious and want to see it.
           The film, the speed of the lens, the transformation. Sometimes aggressive, sometimes calm and terrifying. Addicting. Plus there is a sense of history and a sense of the times. Made me feel like I was watching a play. A life of three generations of grandchildren. Speaking of...

      hardcore political metaphor

      The film consists of three stories, all of which allude to the political ecology of Eastern European countries led by the former Soviet Union. Soldiers who rely on sexual fantasies to masturbate, foodies who aim to eat competitions, and skinny sons who are good at making specimens, the son who failed in the end had to make both his father and himself as specimens. The theme is an obvious metaphor, but it's not a good one - the socialist camp does have a lot of problems, but doesn't the other...

      Hungarian Metamorphoses

      Although it is only an hour and a half, the content is very rich, including a historical trauma of Hungary in the twentieth century. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren respectively represent three periods, during World War II under the fascist rule, the period of communist rule and the modern capitalist period. But in fact the blood relationship of these three generations is ambiguous.


          The first-act scene takes place in a closed area, and the protagonist...

      seeker of immortality

      Written on the front, if you haven't seen this film, then please don't read my text below, because it is inevitable that you will watch it, and my text is just my feelings I hate it to influence readers Thought. Adhering to this point of view, this work was broadcast. An inexplicable voice, this is the switch between virtual and real space. The cold winter, the Soviet military uniforms, and the dull background music set the tone for the entire film. The pain and pleasure of a man having...

      This movie is so meaningful. If you know the background, you can watch it as a political movie, and if you don't know it, it's not bad as a pure CULT. In the end, the statue that the son made of himself was too...

    Movie plot

    The film is divided into three narrative segments, the themes are semen, saliva and blood.
    The protagonist of the first part is a small person at the bottom of the society, without dignity and being cast aside. But he is still human, with feelings and desires. He can only use his imagination to satisfy his inexhaustible longing for life. He peeks at women bathing and plays, sucks the sewage soaked in women's bodies, imagines being a...
