The first show of this year's Shanghai Film Festival. Wise choice.
The Turkish rural landscape in the film brought me back to the country 12 years ago. It was the same customs and the undulating mountain outline. The development gap between the east and the west of Turkey is huge. I was fortunate to travel around Turkey 12 years ago. Still fresh in my memory.
The subject matter of this film is also very similar to the scene where we led the whole family to shoot "The Legend of Heroines" 4 years ago, which made me feel the sense of substitution.
Ceylon, another master who resonates with me deeply. Every film festival can meet such masters whom I admire and love from the bottom of my heart. Last year's Bergman and Apichatpong, this year's Ceylon, their works It went straight into my heart and aroused my passion for creation. My list of masters is very few: the classic old tower, Ozu, Kubrick, modern Sorrentino, Wes Anderson, Kusturica... I believe that every one of their works is beautiful. And each one is worthy of repeated appreciation.
The story of "Blue Clouds in May" is great. The three clues are developed from the perspective of the protagonist, father, and boy. Everyone has their own dedication. The protagonist is making movies, the old father is guarding the woods, and the boy is changing watches for eggs. The last three clues are very naturally closely linked. Starting from the boy's egg breaking and turning, the tomato rolling a hillside? The shot was amazing.
An interesting point is that the director likes to shoot a dialogue between two people. In the dialogue, everyone is talking to themselves, not listening to the other party at all, but only paying attention to their own obsessions.
The director has a unique sense of humor, caring about people's complex heart, but gentle and kind, helpless worldly favors, but always infiltrated with a little bit of warmth
