The story comes slowly, but it is never absent.
Knowing this movie is due to the requirements of the course, and watching it is really accidental. After all, it is so old, it is not easy, not easy.
The first time I opened it, I really had the mentality of only watching for 15 minutes, but I gave up after about 5 minutes, because I stared at the screen for five minutes, except for a low-pitched male voice who kept repeating the description of the hotel, and on the screen. Except for the fixed objects such as stairs, sculptures, and ceilings that slowly appeared, there was no shadow of a living person. I even wondered if I was looking for the wrong resource.
But the teacher really asked to watch it before class, so I brought Mao Mao to watch it together for the second time. I was mentally prepared for the first five minutes and listened to his continuous cycle. After a long wait, I finally saw the head, but the screen suddenly paused, moved, paused, moved. , Pause... Several times I suspected that there was a problem with the resources or the network, and even thought it was a technical defect of the year... We are very imaginative.
After many twists and turns, Mr. Mao gave up.
Alright, get down to business.
This is the novel of the same name by Rob-Grillet, a representative writer of the New Fiction School. Last year in Mariamba was a hit and won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. The film begins on the stage of the theater, where the actor is performing a scene where the man urges the woman to leave, but the woman insists on waiting a bit longer. In the auditorium, man X and lady A stared at each other for a long time. During the break, dance music played in the theater, X invited A to dance, and the two expressed their feelings for each other at close range. A thinks this X is a stranger who pays attention to herself, but X tells a little-known story that happened with her last year, and claims that she made an agreement with her last year to leave together at this manor this year. The woman thinks that they do not know each other, but The man kept insisting, constantly narrating last year's clips, trying to make the woman remember him, the picture alternated between this year and last year's manor scenes... During this period, X and A's husband or lover M game showdown was also interspersed. Scenes……
This is a story that is difficult to fully describe the plot, probably because the New Sensation novel is characterized by its opposition to the novel tradition of any previous era: no characters are created; no plot is conceived; I don't even know who said a certain line in the movie. After watching the movie, I only have three vague images left in my mind. They don't even have names and don't know their character, identity, social class... .I can't see the relationship between the other people and scenes in the picture and the development of the plot... So now I think about it, it's vague and hazy.
I think there are probably three endings, or maybe only one.
Ending 1: Last year, man X went to Lady A's room to find her. Lady A in white feather pajamas panicked when she saw X. She put her finger on her lips to signal X at the door to silence her. M, who was hiding behind the white curtains, was shot and killed, and she fell back under the bed with her hands on her lips.
Ending 2: Last year, man X and lady A agreed to meet somewhere in the manor and leave together, but A asked X to wait another year, then A heard the voice and told X to leave first, M came over, and then there was a loud noise, it turned out The railing behind which X rolled over to leave collapsed.
Ending 3: This year, lady A sat on the chair at the corner under the stairs and waited, X walked down, the bell rang, A got up and left with X, and then M stood on the stairs and looked at the place where A just sat.
Finally, M stood on the stairs and looked ahead.
"The entire hotel, built in a French garden, has no trees, no flowers, no plants. Sand, slate, marble, straight lines, boxy spaces, no mystery at all. At first glance Go up, you can't get lost, at first glance, across the straight path, between the eternal sculpture, and the granite floor, you're lost, forever alone in this silent night, with me. "
