The 1980s and 1990s was a time when goddesses spewed out.
Bellucci in Italy, Sophie Marceau in France, Zeta Jones in the UK, Julia Roberts in the US and Nicole Kidman in Australia, not to mention the goddesses of the heyday of Hong Kong films . Compared with today's days of seeing how doctors look, the goddesses at that time were pure natural and pollution-free. Not only were they beautiful, but their acting skills were also guaranteed. If you pick any one, they are god-like existences to this day.
In their heyday, there was a senior who was ten years earlier than them still competing with them, and she was Isabel Adjani.
In terms of status, Adjani can be regarded as a French national treasure actress before Sophie Marceau. She needs to have looks and acting skills. . Speaking of her emotional experience and her fragile and sensitive nerves, she is very close to the role of her Cannes work "The Enchanted".
That year was the 34th Cannes, not a big year for movies. At Cannes, Michael Mann's "The Thief" was more eye-catching, starring the eldest son of the Corleone family in "The Godfather"; there was a film about art and the Nazis The film "Mephistopheles"; Oscar's best picture "Carriers of Fire"; of course, the most famous of this session are the two films of Adjani, "Quartet" and "Possessed".
Cannes has always had a habit of evenly distributing awards to ensure that high-quality films can win awards. That is to say, generally speaking, the films that won the Grand Jury Prize in Cannes will not win the performance awards. What is more interesting is that it is more common for two people to win the award at the same time. This time, it was Adjani who won a best actress for two films. No one ever hoped that there would be a newcomer.
Then I said that the film "Possessed" was directed by Zulaski, who belonged to an unconventional faction. His film's avant-garde and postmodernist traces were very obvious, and he was banned by Poland. Poland is a very interesting country. It was first savagely occupied by Germany during World War II, and then bloody ruled by the Soviet Union after World War II. The most important thing is that I always have a hard time with myself and block an artist at any time. You know, even Winnie the Pooh was banned by a small town in Poland for wearing only clothes and no pants. What else can they do?
Similarly, Comrade Zulasky was banned by his own country early. The most famous "Silver Planet" in his life even burned the set props and costumes and destroyed the script. More than a decade later, after the democratization of Polish politics, a friend of Zurawski found the script and film, which helped him complete the final shot.
Times have changed, and the actors of that year are no longer suitable for the sequel ten years later, but the film Pu caused huge repercussions as soon as it came out. Although the effect is not as good as the director expected because of these many situations, it is still enough to kill most of the ordinary people in this world.
"Possessed" was filmed in France when Zulaski was banned from Poland. It is worth mentioning that Comrade Zulaski was very superstitious about goddess-level actresses. After Adjani, he turned to Sophie Marceau. The two cooperated tacitly and shot a series of love movies in succession, and finally the two became husband and wife. , although eventually parted ways, but the fact that he was Sophie Marceau's husband is enough for a man to boast about for a lifetime.
The first 2/3 of "Enchanted" is all about family ethics dramas. A husband who is a private detective does not go home all day long, and a housewife who is as old as a wolf like a tiger blooms with peach blossoms. The two are still in love but cannot coexist, and quarrels are inevitable, but the quarrel between the two is a bit shocking.
Roaring piercingly, life is not as painful as death, and sometimes even brings self-mutilation skills. The most terrible thing is that these two actually have a child. The first time they quarreled, they parted ways, but neither of them came home. The child spent many days at home relying on the food in the refrigerator.
And so on, there are many strange settings in the film, such as Adjani's affair lover, a man who acts like a sissy and looks like Hannibal and has some three-legged cat kung fu; The detective came to spy on the wife; the detective who followed was killed by the boss at Adjani's residence, and the detective who took over the task quit because the two were gay partners, so they were killed like moths to the fire; the child's kindergarten teacher was a man and his wife. A woman who looks exactly the same.
The most explosive thing about this film is not all of the above, but at the end of the film, it turned into a tentacle movie. What Adjani has always been obsessed with is not a person, but a very disgusting tentacled monster that looks like an alien species, moves very slowly, and has peak sexual performance, accompanied by occasional brain wave disturbances and ejection of fluid secretion Features.
To be honest, what I saw here is this tentacle monster. Many strange logics and behaviors fill the whole movie. After the tentacle monster fully appeared, the movie was completely incomprehensible. At the end of the film, the tentacle monster turns into the hero. The hero and heroine escape from the police and are shot to death by random guns. The child senses the arrival of the tentacle monster and drowns himself. Only the kindergarten teacher who is exactly the same as the heroine seems to be conquered by the tentacle monster again.
I can only say that we don’t understand the world of artists. I can see the relationship between men and women struggling in marriage, but other than that, it’s all the actors’ crazy performances and clueless plot advancements, and they basically get out of control and have no logic. .
It can be said that the characters in this film are very similar to Adjani's real life. As a goddess, her emotional life has always been rough. The first love is Daniel Day-Lewis, who has now been awarded the god of acting, and Oscar has been crowned emperor three times. The result of waiting for many years is that Lewis married another beautiful wife. Adjani had such an experience twice, which led to mental problems for a long time.
Her fragile nerves made her reject many good opportunities. For example, the first choice of the producers of "Instinct" and "Immoral Transaction" were Adjani, who was new to Hollywood, but she rejected them all because of her physical condition. . So there are Sharon Stone and Demi Moore who have fascinated thousands of young boys. Even because of a long period of rest, it was rumored that Adjani died of illness, and she had to appear on the most popular program in France to clarify herself.
But in any case, Adjani is still French and the goddess of the world. This "Enchanted" is the most beautiful tentacle movie I've ever seen, you know what I'm talking about.
