Quand le son rencontre l'image...

Corneliu Porumboiu parvient à intégrer aisément les références aux classiques dans son propre thriller bien noir, déjà lui même un mélange de registres où se côtoient, polar, western, comédie, satire sociale, film d'espionnage et romance pour en créer un terreau riche en sons et images, dont les rapports intéressent particulièrement le réalisateur roumain.

La puissance des langages renforcée par la présence des multi-langues maitrisés par les malfrats se heurte constamment à...

Everyone is a signal island

If you want to sum up the creative style of Romanian director Corneliu Bolan Boyu, you will definitely not be able to jump out of the labels of low budget, live-action shooting, fixed long shots, and life-like themes. The combination of these words happens to lay a solid foundation for people A general impression of the Romanian New Wave. Compared with Mengji, Puyou and others in the same trenches, Bo Lanboyu can always focus on local social contradictions, and integrate...

A word in the mouth, a mole in the heart

Legend has it that the movies recommended by stubborn men to watch, I, a stubborn girl, prefer to watch it. Well, the taste is unique.

A policeman who mixes black and white, a story of infernal black eating black. The ubiquitous surveillance is in stark contrast to the whistle that no one can understand: the body can monitor but the mind cannot. The film always pays tribute to black humor and fans, perhaps self-deprecating or...

B. [Three brushes in five days] Bo Lanboyu, who was good at long-shot political narrative in the early stage, after the formal experiment of "Infinite Football", (successfully) transformed into a genre film and anti-genre film director ("Treasure" is already relatively commercialized direction), just like the transition from "making political films" to "making films politically", behind which is a high degree of unity of form and content (whistle language (color, music) as form). 30 years of...

The first half is not good, and the second half is slammed. It's not that we are used to seeing the highlight moments of Hong Kong movies, but that the focus of this movie is not enough. At the same time, Bo Lan Boyu is still using the coincidence of chicken blood to create drama points. I...

Disappointed, ubiquitous surveillance and monopolistic discourse reflecting the full infiltration of authoritarian politics into the everyday is a polyphony of Cops, Adjectives, and Quentin-esque narrative play is (extremely deliberate) a reference to the previously adept at manipulating the flow of time. Tension's wave blue wave is a kind of...
