The 3rd screening day of the main competition unit of the 13th #Faro IslandFilm Festival# brings you "You Are Alive", and the following brings you the calm and fragmented evaluations of the frontline passers-by!

Parisian Love Songs:

Accept incompetence.

Pours full of Zhao +:

I laughed, but I felt that I shouldn't laugh, and then I was very sad.

Mozart Lumso:

A collection of countless tragic moments, sometimes only this tingling of despair can remind you that you are alive.

Bat bat:

There is a huge sadness hidden under the relaxed tone, and the soundtrack is so good that Mrs. Mrs. is so happy that you can jump up and down when you listen to it.

The song is wrong:

Are you still alive, no, you are already dead, after all, no normal person would put a thick layer of white powder on their face, amen.

RIVER:

The soundtrack is very good, and there are many favorite passages, but it lacks integrity for me, and I can't let go of the concerns of the story to simply appreciate the grotesque aesthetics, and some of the designs are almost terrifying in my opinion.

Queen of the Faroe Islands:

A bit of Jacques Tati's feeling, from the character modeling expressions to the story structure, dullness and numbness are carried through, pessimistic reality. After reading it, I just want to give "Han Zhi Que Jing" and "Singing from the Second Floor" all five stars.

Jeff Jiang:

life is quite absurd, and death is the final word, which one will come first, tomorrow or death, I don't know, it should be the wine tonight. Although living means dying at any time, everything is still in the future.

Matsuno Somatsu:

I have always felt that the characters in Roy Anderson movies have no ego, soul, they are like mechanical puppets, you are still alive and add a little emotion, all the mechanical characters are alive, helplessness and sadness seem to have become their proof of their existence evidence of.

We Min Hee:

Roy Anderson, who saw more than one scene in a scene, was shocked when he saw the camera movement. The few existences in his works that people can "love" are not limited to death, they are more dynamic, and the characters are more alive and connected, although they will still make people impatient later. It's smart to bring everyone's perspectives together at the end.

Fruit trees:

Roy Anderson's films always make people feel that life is full of loneliness and helplessness, and the gap between people makes life empty, lonely and meaningless. But scenes like the wedding at the end make people feel that this is the true nature of life, and it is these helpless and boring little details that make life look much better.

Ou Yin:

Roy Anderson's second film is still a familiar color scheme, and the shots are fixed in the scene. The restrained brushstrokes are fun and sad. Probably the background of life is dull and mediocre plus some sadness and meaninglessness, but persistent people always have dreams, dream, dream, and face all the bleak since then. My favorite is the episode of dreaming of getting married, too warm and beautiful.

Outisss:

Overall, my favorite is Roy Andersson's unique video style. Compared with his previous films, the music is more plump. The deserted film style and the slightly cheerful music do not feel inconsistent. My favorite part of the whole film is the wedding. The house is passing by slowly like a train, and people are shouting "Good luck to you Anna and Miko". Everything is so beautiful.

Bob_Chow:

theatrical. Collapse into one and thus void space and time. Negative narratives and fragile connections point to infinity through objectification. The open door (or a passage to another invisible space) that always appears in the background in the composition has three points: to place the audience in the same space as the film; to activate the "movement" of the foreground static"; implying that the past has happened/is happening/is about to happen in the future, thereby denying linear time.

George:

The warmth is greater than the irony of broken chapters. Every frame of the shot is like Edward Hope's painting, but the connection between people is very interesting, which distinguishes the film from the painting. The director's talent brings more poetic details, Unforgettable. Thinking of Montale's poem: "Maybe one morning, walking in the dry glass air, I will turn around and see a miracle happen: there is nothing behind me, a void stretches behind me, with the horror of a drunkard. Then , as if on the screen, immediately gathered trees, houses and mountains, it is the same old hallucination. But it is too late: I will continue to walk silently through the crowd with this secret, and they will not look back."

Midnight no one:

The imprint of posing is not so heavy, it is more like the lively and hilarious smiley face of "Barbarian Story", not the half-dead gray and cold like "Second Floor", "Cold Branch" and "Endless", a sense of experience. become refreshed. It is also in this emotional attitude that I can finally see how Roy Anderson has always looked at life, people, the boundary between reality and surrealism, and the division between freedom and unfreedom. People are always crowding each other, on the platform in the rain, on the elevator for help, on the door frame for prayer, and finally they crowd out the window of the musicians. This is the world of one person and the world of a group of people. When one person's happiness can infect a group of people, the resonance of a group of people can also melt a person's sorrow.

Bwheat19920313:

It is still the familiar Roy Anderson style, using various fragmentary life shots to piece together a "complete" story. However, compared with the previous "About Endless", this one is obviously more humorous and joking, and the use of music is also richer and more catchy. However, I think it's a bit strange, such a temperature seems to be inconsistent with the cold state of northern Europe overflowing on the screen. Going deeper, although many aspects of the film have profoundly explained the connotation, it seems to be slightly out of touch with the title "You Are Alive", not as tight as the title of "About Endless", and the small theme feels also related to this. The loneliness of the picture creates a little sense of discrepancy. But in general, this is still a master-level work. I like the scene where a group of people cheers and watches the house drive away like a train, which is so beautiful.

#FIFF13#DAY3's main competition magazine rating will be released later, please wait and see.

You, the Living quotes

  • Mia: Serving non-alcoholic beer with food that smells so good. It's torture!

    Uffe's mother.: I only want what's best for you.

    Mia: Best! Is this what's best for me? Enduring this damned existance... with all the shit and deceit and wickedness and staying sober? How can you expect or even want a single poor bugger to put up with it without being drunk? It's inhuman. Only a sadist would demand that.

  • The psychiatrist: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

    [examines the large stack of patient's files]

    The psychiatrist: I am a psychiatrist. I have been for 27 years. I'm completely worn out. Year after year, listening to patients who aren't satisfied with their lives, who want to have fun, who want me to help them with that - it wears you out, I can tell you. My life isn't exactly a lot of fun either. People demand so much. That's the conclusion I've drawn after all these years. They demand to be happy, at the same time as they are egocentric, selfish, and ungenerous. Well, I would like to be honest. I would like to say that they are quite simply mean, most of them. Spending hour after hour in therapy, trying to make a mean person happy... There's no point. You can't do it. I've stopped doing it. These days, I just prescribe pills. The stronger, the better.
