I think this style is about avoiding complexity and lifting weights lightly.
Laoka regards complexity as one of his ideals, perhaps because his focus is different.
The mystery of things and people makes some artists choose to approach the essence and the truth by means of detour, analysis and fusion. The character and literacy of the object determine that this method should be chosen. Perhaps the movie "Rashomon" and "Pulp Fiction", Lao Ka's "Palomar" is just such a focus.
However, just like a fable: Zhuangzi painted a goose in ten years without ink, and it was done in one stroke.
This is ancient minimalism.
The finishing touch or the epiphany, the titillation or the head-scratcher, can all describe the minimalist style.
It is to bypass some stages that lack real meaning, point directly to the rich, rich and truly important core, "accurately" reveal the central node of the mystery, open the door to understanding and experience, and achieve the beauty of a momentary tranquil zen state.
But the most difficult difficulty of minimalism to overcome is how to achieve the "accuracy" of the above-mentioned realm! ?
In addition, this film is enough to keep the arrogance of unconscious Chinese (especially mainland) directors and stunned the conscious but lack of training and aura of domestic filmmakers.
No matter from creativity to rhythm to emotional state, it has a rare modern elegance and calmness.
