The first and last day of this year's siff is dedicated to "Satan Tango", and there is only one word "value".
During the extra session, I grabbed the tickets with a fever, and I didn't even notice what day of the week it was. In the end, I didn't expect so many people to get together on Monday to watch a movie that lasted more than seven hours. While waiting for the ticket check, everyone was eating in twos and threes and chatting with each other. There was an emotion in their eyes that I couldn't describe. It might be nervousness or anticipation. I don't know.
At the moment when the title subtitles jumped out at the beginning, there was a sudden applause in the theater, and I don't know who started it, just like the three applause that followed.
The 4k restoration is really delicate, and every subtle expression of the characters is magnified on the screen. What I remember most is Ilmiat's high-sounding speech, and the long-shot close-up has been moving slowly with his head, like the eyes of others staring at him. Coupled with the black and white images, his face looks remarkably firm and credible, and he can't blame everyone for being deceived in the end. After all, such a handsome face also has a good-looking 2333 close-up and panorama collocation in the film. The long still image, the dead girl lying in the middle surrounded by the crowd, the composition is reminiscent of The Last Supper, but Jesus is not there, Satan appears, silently manipulating the fate of everyone.
The ring structure of this book has been talked about so much, it is like the snake on the cover of the novel, the whole structure is logically connected according to the chapter names. In addition to the main line, the girl's auxiliary lines are also quite moving, especially the cat abuse clip. Under the long-lens inspection, the girl's actions towards the cat seem to be indiscriminately presented, repeatedly torturing and beating the cat. Is it not a punishment for himself, how similar to the "cannibalism" of the villagers later, the girl and the cat are just small reincarnations in this big reincarnation, a silent and insignificant footnote in an era.
The chapter-like structure makes watching the movie a feeling of reading, as if it has broken through the boundaries between written language and audio-visual language. The coldness, humor and quietness of the text are all between the black and white images presented by long shots and fixed shots. The above sound effects, which are mainly natural sound effects, are easy to immerse people in. With the camera, they shuttle through the farm, scan every face, and see everything, but they can't do anything except watch.
In fact, it is very powerless to share such works. The more explanations there are, the more misunderstandings appear. You can only experience it by seeing it yourself. Bring your own unique experience and habits to collide with light and shadow, and paint a "Hamlet" in your heart. "enough.
PS. The circle is really interesting, it doesn't seem to change no matter how you look at it
