Sensitive words

I may suddenly understand what this movie is about. Why didn't the poet speak anymore, because he found that all the words he wanted to say pointed to a certain set of words that had been deleted in the dictionaries of the Nordic countries. The reason why he sits is also the same. He believes that many other people have the same idea, so he just needs to wait.

The clogged streets, the priest who speculates in stocks, and the little girl who is used as an experiment all reflect the lack of leadership of the whole nation. The Russian-speaking ghost may be a little happier than the others, at least he still has the desire to talk.

"Where am I going to hide from your spirit? Where am I going to hide from your presence?"

    The 55/100, cold and even pale tones convey the eerieness of the film, and this fixed viewpoint space and walking corpse-like character movements completely put it at an extreme. And this kind of design that is more mechanical than machinery, in my opinion, destroys the social irony that the author wants to express, so it looks empty and funny, but it has no soul, a kind of "zombie movie".

    4.5, it would be a waste to "interpret" Roy Anderson's films as absurd satires only. Although there are many implied humors, allegories and various references in each scene, they are not presented in text, but are based on the beautiful and interesting spatial scheduling in fixed shots, and the narrative and depth of field at various levels Movement is often combined with the division of sound and picture to complete sensory mobilization. Naturally, when watching movies, you should first focus on "seeing" and "listening".
