At the beginning of the year, Hongyanxiu recommended an article for everyone, " I want to see it, but it is destined not to be released. In the first half of 2018, it is an R-rated film in Europe and the United States! ",
Overall, in the first half of 2018, there are 5 R-rated films that are very exciting!
Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Thandie Newton's Gringo,
Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan's third "Training Class" "Flying at 50°C",
"The Raptors" starring Bruce Willis, "The Cardinals" "Big Cousin" Jennifer Lawrence.
There is also a thriller and suspense movie directed by Lynn Ramsay and starring Joaquin Phoenix that Hongyanxiu wants to recommend today:
"You Never Really Stopped"
In addition to "Red Sparrow" and "Flying at 50°C", these are also three new R-rated films that can be felt on the domestic Internet.
Lynn Ramsay , British female director,
The first feature film "The Ratcatcher" and the follow-up "Mervin Carla" have won awards when screened at various film festivals around the world,
"You Never Really Stopped" directed this time is also significantly different from the familiar R-rated films in style.
Joaquin Phoenix is an outlier in Hollywood.
At every turn, I say I want to take a break from filming, and after a few years of rest, I will always return.
He always likes to play some awkward, eccentric, extreme or perverted roles, but his outstanding acting skills are still deeply loved by directors and fans.
Lynn Ramsey and Joaquin Phoenix, two aliens, join forces this time,
Also brought in Russia's Ekaterina Samsonov to play Little Loli, with a white, cold cheek that is quite dramatic.
Light, electricity, painting, electronic and atonal strings, flashbacks, close-ups, blood, sound effects are strongly implanted,
"You've Never Been Here" won two awards for Best Screenplay and Best Actor at the 70th Cannes Film Festival last year.
As one of the main competition films, it received a rating of 3.2 out of 4.
But on Metascore, the reputation of "You've Never Been Here" also showed serious polarization .
Of the 10 scoring media, 6 gave full marks, while the "Hollywood Reporter" gave a failing score of 50.
Because from beginning to end, the style of "You've Never Been Here" seems so offbeat and out of place.
At Cannes, a 95-minute R-rated film came to an abrupt end after only 80 minutes of screening.
Lynne Ramsay said bluntly at the press conference:
"The film is not finished, and at the moment, there are a lot of unfinished details in the film."
And unlike the "blood, violence, and fascination" of previous R-rated films,
The expression of these elements in "You've Never Been Here" is reflected in an unconventional way,
Countless few lines, the core and the conspiracy behind it are hidden in countless flashbacks and poetic details.
Joaquin Phoenix plays a retired soldier who looks like a middle-aged greasy uncle.
There is an old mother who can't take care of herself at home.
From the opening minutes, it can be seen that the relationship between mother and son is very good, warm dialogue, and a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" by the way.
After retiring, Joaquin Phoenix has become a strict contract killer . He doesn't use mobile phones or elevators.
After completing an "order", he will take a taxi to the airport, report the situation on the public phone and contact at the airport, and then go home,
If the contact's son happened to see him coming home, he would immediately terminate his cooperation with the contact.
One day, Joaquin Phoenix received a new "order", and the loli daughter of the assistant governor was abducted and "prostituted".
Joaquin Phoenix wants to rescue it and take revenge on the scum who make good prostitutes,
So, Joaquin Phoenix prepared meticulously, and alone took a small hammer into the villa where Loli was imprisoned,
A bloody fight was framed by Lynne Ramsay using "black-and-white footage of surveillance footage and the constant switching of real scenes . "
Joaquin Phoenix took Lolita and hid in a hotel, waiting to be greeted by the assistant governor,
Facing the arrival of the new student who was about to go home and the arrival of her father, Loli did not show too much joy. On the contrary, she was expressionless and didn't care.
When the door was knocked on, Joaquin Phoenix faced the police who broke in, and Loli was snatched away .
Joaquin Phoenix struggled to get out, but couldn't find a contact to find out why,
Later, it was discovered that both current and former contacts were killed, and even the mother was tragically silenced.
In order to save Loli, avenge her mother, and find out the truth, Joaquin Phoenix shot a killer at home,
And what happened, the conspiracy behind it, was explained only by two lines from the dying killer's mouth ,
Loli's father is not an assistant to the governor, she is just a "plaything" for the governor!
A contract killer presses another killer,
As fans of the drama, all kinds of cruel pictures can emerge in our minds,
But in "You've Never Been Here", Joaquin Phoenix, who knows the truth, lies hand in hand with the killer who killed his mother. . . .
It seems that Joaquin Phoenix really needs too much consolation.
Not only that, when Joaquin Phoenix came to the governor's mansion where Lolita was hiding and started killing,
Joaquin Phoenix's sad mood can no longer be controlled,
Lolita, who met again, once again used two lines to point out the entanglement and pain in Joaquin Phoenix's heart.
This is a story of a killer and a loli, but it is different from the past,
From the beginning to the end, Joaquin Phoenix is full of excessive sadness full of emotions, from the flashing pictures of memories to the hallucinations that appear at the end .
The experiences of childhood and military experience have always haunted Joaquin Phoenix.
The killer solves Loli's body, Loli solves the killer's soul,
In the whole film, except for Loli, almost all the actors who went abroad for more than 1 minute acted the corpse again .
Including Joaquin Phoenix, in the final scene, where he fantasizes about killing himself in the restaurant, he collapses in a pool of blood, and the waiter still puts the bill on his table.
Yes, you were never here, the meaning of life may be just a non-stop journey,
Just like the last Joaquin Phoenix and Loli, who don't know where they are going, but they are on the road together.
The story of "You've Never Been Here" is quite wonderful in terms of pictures, shots, details, and lines.
In terms of plot and logic, it has created a three-dimensional immersive viewing experience for fans.
Lots of things that didn't say, but you should know, and I'm never here.…
Friends who want to have a glimpse of the beauty of the film, in the wind and rain, Hong Yanxiu is waiting for you~
