Recently, I have watched many literary films from various countries, but the only thing I want to write is this "Klixia".
I personally love films with the director’s personal style very much. I even think that even if a movie has shortcomings in the story and actors, the director's layout and integration of the work is creative enough to still be a brilliant movie with vivid memories.
Klixia is the debut work of director Trey Edward Shults. At the beginning of the filming, the audience can clearly realize that this young director possesses extremely profound and subtle control and creativity in characterizing and narrative presentation. The camera uses facial propulsion, close-up of hand movements, and multiple 360-degree one-mirror rotation shooting, highlighting the emotional blowout anxiety under the surface of the heroine Boping. In addition, the interpersonal estrangement of Western families is accurately presented by the 27-year-old director in the panoramic picture after the heroine enters the door-embarrassing and indifferent to the embarrassment of having nowhere to store under the polite greetings of each other.
Klixia's script is very simple. Krisha, a perverted old woman who once left her young child to be raised by relatives and has been away from home for many years, in her twilight years of poverty and illness, on Thanksgiving night, she wanted to regain her family relationship, but she still could not escape the relief of alcohol pills. An ethical story about darkness and brokenness.
In addition to being impressed by the director's creativity, the film's extremely expansive and impactful soundtrack has formed a unique feature of the film. Various types of percussion undulates with different sections of the bridge, creating a quite fascinating stream of consciousness scene, which makes people wonder about the director's artistic analysis style. It seems that the paradox of art is the unusual reflection of somatosensory.
After watching the whole movie, people only have to admire this fledgling 27-year-old wizard. He didn't say anything about the cause and effect in 90 minutes, but the old woman understood it all her life. What’s more terrible is that people are immersed in the ringing music, and they really can’t come out with little concentration~
