The 8th screening day of the main competition unit of the 7th #Faro IslandFilm Festival# will bring you "Under the Sun of Satan", and the following will bring you the evaluation of the devout priest on the front line that transcends life and death!
Sunset:
A mysterious force.
The virtuous woman:
Religious movies are really my blind spot for appreciation.
Not a rabbit slot:
Don't watch boring movies at night, especially French ones.
Fruit trees:
One of my least favorite Palme d'Ors, Piara's very sketchy video style doesn't fit with the didactic nature of this film.
Tonda people:
In religious movies, once there is divine persuasion, it is not enough. Satan begins to appear, and the previous logic no longer applies.
PIncent：
What belongs to Bresson ("The Diary of a Country Priest", "Mouchette") can also belong to Bergman ("Winter Light"), but the negative attitude it conveys is still Piara's, "From I never felt so old." It is also the confusion and struggle of the priest. The contradiction of religion is reflected in the two light atmospheres of warm sun and shadow at the same time. Walking with the devil, the miracles come from the grace of God may also be the sign of the devil.
I know a little about her:
It can be seen that Piara's original intention was to make a superficial minimalist religious epic, a thriller melodrama with a tenacious confrontation between the mind and the body at the core. The photography is powerful, the brilliant colors dissolve in the lens and are so eye-catching, even to a certain extent, it offsets the hollowness and dullness of the lines. When Satan chooses to test you and endow you with abilities and favors, you pull out your containment heart, and even if you have been engraved with a curse, you still stubbornly block it. "Have you felt that boundless delusion in life? Did you hear that laughter that deceived you?" Stop making mistakes like children.
Cornices:
The existence of religion does not require everyone's understanding and acceptance, and if the foundation of faith is not self-sufficient and completely dependent on teachings, it will still enter the cage of inner pain and separation. In fact, Piara discussed religion on a philosophical level. Fundamentally, in the contradiction between the self-blame that is difficult to get rid of and the absolute advocacy of the spirit of doctrine, the priest finally failed to reach a balance and failed to understand that Satan was originally with God. The natural light throughout the film has a calm, cold, soft, bright, and desolate change along with the development of the plot. Watching cry while the priest is alone in the room's self-questioning.
Quit the smoke:
I would like to thank the film arranging team for putting these three films on the same day. God knows what I went through to finish watching these three films. "Under the Sun" really left me speechless.
The plot is really boring. Under the lead of the religious thread, various characters appear one after another. But the piety of the priest is boring, the emotion of the girl is boring, and the monologue of Satan is boring. Until the end, I didn't know what the film was babbling about and it ended like this. I didn't see anything deep in the madness of the spirit, the depravity of human nature, and so on.
The viewing process of this film reminded me of "First Reformed", which I scolded for a year last year, but "First Reformed" at least has the appearance and acting skills of Ethan Hawke. have what?
#FIFF7#DAY8's main competition magazine score will be released on the broadcast later, please wait and see.
