After watching the seven-and-a-half-hour movie in one go, I initially felt that the movie could actually be longer. After a few days of reviewing the movie, I found that director Beratar actually performed a lot of things in a very restrained manner.
The film is divided into twelve paragraphs. Of the twelve paragraphs, cat abuse and satanic tango are the best. The doctor's drinking is also very attractive. The constant ups and downs between square inches makes a simple event deduce ups and downs.
The angle of the story of the girl who abused the cat is too good. It seems that the girl is abusing cats, but it is actually showing that adults are abusing girls. This section is similar to the section in which the police wrote the transcript. It seems that the police are writing notes, but they are actually expressing three things: explaining the final outcome of each character; the police's indifference to the villagers and making fun of them; and a plot reversal, that is, the signer announces that the story suddenly changes from the police's perspective to the liar's perspective. This kind of text expression is too awesome.
The lead characters that run through the film are a pair of rascals. The director did not portray the rogue as a rogue, but instead leaned on the image of a government official. The rogue loves to be aggressive and to say "you can go". These negative images are actually said by the people who are bullied by them. The rogue officially appeared, but it was the appearance of a ruler, who came to torture the conscience of the villagers. The scoundrel's righteous face is in sharp contrast to their shameless behavior.
The storytelling skills of the same incident from different angles are a highlight of the film. The storytelling ability of this film actually surpasses the long-shot photography praised by Susan Sontag. When did the white powder in the girl abuse cat explain that it was rat poison, it was actually carefully designed.
Photography is characterized by long lenses. But there are too many characters in the depth direction walking in and out of the camera. There are some shots in the movie that are reminiscent of Tarkovsky, and to be honest, the performance of the Bellatar shot is still significantly worse than the old Tabby. However, the script ability, especially the literary nature of the script, Bellatar is obviously stronger than Laota.
