Since Chloe first met Atom Egoya, he looked at several of his works from the 90s out of control. I always think that he is an underestimated director, at least in China, mainly because most of his films show a modest family ethics and emotional education theme. However, emotional education films can also be made very well and brilliantly. Egoya's films have always had a chic and delicate structure without showing off their skills. They remain suspenseful but not show off. The mirrors are naturally light and not dull like art movies.
This "Unexpected Spring" has a certain degree of similarity with Gonzalez's "21g" in terms of structure and theme. It also uses a distinctive narrative structure, disrupting the editing of three parallel clues, and people in their own lives. Encountered the same disaster in the trajectory, bringing pain and regrets to different families. Unlike "21g", which peels off the onion-like method of peeling the ending layer by layer and finally pushing the ending to a climax, Egoya's shots do not have an end. It seems that the beauty before the pain, the process of experiencing the pain and the process of pursuing the shortcoming have become Three parallel and eternal spaces are created, without seeking purpose or pursuing meaning. He also did not make any torture and exploration of human nature and reality. The film always maintains an objective perspective, poetic without losing temperature, sad and sorrowful. When the camera switched back to the memories before the accident, the town was not completely full of sweetness and beauty. It also contained lies, betrayal and incest. It was buried in a school bus accident like the harmony and goodwill of those families. Under the ice. The lawyer who incited the anger of the victims is just trying to get some justice from the society for the daughter who is addicted to drugs. It seems that this can also fill the pain of the bereaved family.
However, after the tragedy, the truth is no longer important. No matter how angry it is, the survivor Nicole has an unusual reaction. In all the emotions of sympathy, anger, and indulging in pain, she appears to be particularly calm and weird. In her confession In this way, the class action lawsuit fell short, and everything in the town was calm.
Well, maybe it's just an accident that can calm people's heart more.
In 1997, Adjani served as the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival jury. With her rights emptied, her beloved "Unexpected Spring" did not win the Palme d'Or, only the jury award.
