even if the story is far-fetched, it does not matter:
What's more, its main line is very clear,
and the themes of revenge and self-realization are deeply classical.
If you regard it as a lengthened performance art/a video installation realized in two hours and six minutes, it is
beautiful and
scattered,
and only film is its ideal medium.
Greenaway is both beautiful and abnormal,
a confidant of extreme Japanese art,
and a dialogue with a female perspective in Pillow Grass
(the passages quoted from the original work are all poetic)
human skin calligraphy,
male calligraphy,
Wu Junmei’s Golden nipples are
equally sexy.
The weird and bizarre Hong Kong imagined by Westerners before 1997...
Next time you go to the Chenchong Bookstore in Tsim Sha Tsui,
you will probably think of this Japanese bookstore owner who loves men like crazy words?
PS If the female body is the main body, I guess I don't like it that much.
