The first time I saw it was because of that photo of the poster, it would give you a lot of punch and satisfy your voyeuristic desire. We don't even need to read the introduction of the movie to assume that it is a film about sex and fantasy. If we look at a British film again, it is easy to rely on European literary films, which are still very explicit.
Yes, there is sex and fantasy in it, but the way it is told is very different. In the end, you find it's a pure love story, it's funny~
I like it for more than just that.
The film is based on director Sean Ellis' 2004 award-winning short film CASHIBACK. It was a fantasy 18-minute short story about a British supermarket employee who created endless imaginations in order to pass the boring eight-hour night shift. This film has more time and space to show this theme. Both films lead Ben (Sean Biggerstaff is best known for his role as Oliver Wood in the Harry Potter films), a gifted art student who imagines his ability to stop time, Or, conversely, make time go faster by pausing.
The film is full of charming imagination and elegant and beautiful sex, coupled with beautiful shooting techniques, "Sleepless in the Supermarket" tells the audience a conventional love story through unconventional time and memory games. The British director ended up appearing to be more adept and sophisticated in his shooting skills than his own script. Although the film involves naked sex, the audience will be reduced a lot, but the film's good reputation, which has won awards and is easy to remember, is still popular with many audiences.
Ben's philosophical voiceover runs through the film without being dull. The expanded crew can interpret the story more perfectly. There are hardly many character dialogues in the performance, which is very consistent with the delicate and elegant romantic atmosphere of the heroine Emilia Fox. And the existence of Stuart Goodwin, who plays the grumpy boss, can be said to be completely willing to be a green leaf to set off the role of safflower.
The idea of art and love explored in the film is just to prove that it is not only superficial and superficial, and the narration performance throughout the film is sometimes superfluous. As for the picture, it is dizzyingly beautiful. With the great help and cooperation of the editor, the audience can also feel that the director himself is obviously interested in standing behind the camera, and slow motion, acceleration and freeze-frame images play a unique visual effect. Flashing back to the memories of the protagonist's childhood, the transition is natural and without traces, and it also reinforces the film's theme of time changes and uncertainty.
After watching this film, I learned more about the truth that the moment is eternal. Love, like all beautiful things, is A Frozen Second. As long as you pay attention, you can see the most beautiful moments, and time will stop for us.
The experience of the cinematographer and MV director gives Sean Ellis the ultimate static beauty that makes you want to stop and take a closer look, and he did it for us. The restrained Ben silently observed everything around him, looking for all the beauty, and time stopped like this. I often get caught up in this kind of thinking, and this movie says what I want to say: sometimes our minds are detached from reality, and what we're doing isn't necessarily what we think, it's just always looking. .
