      Veronica Firth's Desire

             When the term desire was invented, it was followed by two verbs, one is to suppress and the other is to release. From then on, modern civilization began. So artists like to make a big fuss about people's desires. For example, Fassbender's "The Desire of Veronica Firth" (hereinafter referred to as "Desire") is a strange film. There are women in it, but there are no sluts. ; desire, but no thirst; nakedness, but no eroticism. So what is the meaning of desire? This is not surprising,...

      Everyone has unbearable problems

      This is his last film before his death, and it can be seen that he is skilled in creating atmosphere and narrative, compared to "Love is Colder than Death".
      I don't know if being bisexual is more helpful for understanding women's thinking, but most of the film's perspective is male, that of the sports reporter. He is a pure outsider, not even a former movie fan of the heroine, and needs to rely on his colleagues at the newspaper to know who she is.
      For men, this woman is like a...

      the director said

      Fassbender (1946-1982), the master of the "New German Cinema", died suddenly at the age of 36. He is cynical and thoughtful, always "traveling the world in a hurry", and with superhuman energy and enthusiasm, he has created more than 40 films and TV works in his short 13-year film career. The representative works of her artistic maturity are the famous German women's quartet: "Marriage of Maria Braun" (1978), "Lily Marlene" (1980), "Lola" (1981), "Veroni" Car Firth's Desires (1982)....

      The true meaning of tragedy

      Went to a movie salon today and saw a movie Veronica Foss. A very tragic film about an outdated female star in Germany after World War II, who was controlled by her doctor and became addicted to drugs. Although she met a reporter who kindly helped her, she eventually went to ruin. It's especially easy for me to pull myself into the concept of the protagonist, every time I watch them step by step toward tragedy. I was very impatient. And every time something tragic happens in this movie,...

      Women's Trilogy

      Today, Fassbender's female trilogy comes to an end, the female trilogy is Lola (lola), Mark Braun's wedding and Veronica Foss's desire to see today. The women's trilogy Fassbender called them the German Republic trilogy. His original intention was to use the stories in the movie to summarize the German society after the fall of the Nazis. The best of the three movies should be lola, watch this At that time, I suddenly discovered that Wong Kar-wai's "Hand" used the soundtrack, but in Lola,...

      Exquisite little masterpiece, the black and white part of this movie is the black and white style I like, and the atmosphere is very strong, not black and white for black and white, which is very empty. Fassbender uses a lot of messy elements, some subplots from rom-coms, some vague love triangles, the march of a detective novel, the blurry contrasts between past and reality, to make a feature film that feels very rich , and the photography is also well done. It completely helped Rozel Zech to...

      Still magical reality, using female characters as a metaphor for post-war Germany. Fassbender's operation of black and white light and shadow has reached an amazing height in this film, and the use of overexposure and large color blocks is perfectly integrated into the story: there is a scene in the film, Veroni who has always loved to wear black clothes Kar Foss, in a clinic with a pale face, wears pale clothes that almost blend in with the white of the scene, and this is probably a harbinger...

      I really didn't expect that the last part of the trilogy was actually a black and white film. The blunt tones, stylized lighting (so beautiful) and the composition of the split foreground, lingered in my heart for a long time and couldn't leave, the final climax , My plate actually didn't see her lonely death because it didn't cooperate. Fassbender, the heart of new German cinema, you are far more real and more elegant than I...
