This plate has been sleeping there for a long time, and I have always wanted to find a time when I can calm down and think about her to see her, but in this restless century, it is really difficult to have a calm mind. So, just look at it.
The festival organizes a collection of short films every year, whether it is to prove that only this senior and authoritative film festival is worthy of the concerted efforts of these dozens of directors, the result is always good. Dozens of directors meditate, waiting for the moment of inspiration.
A few years ago, I watched "Old Age in Ten Minutes", and I read twenty gray short films with the bass of the cello. It was a real loss and shock, 20 world-famous directors I didn't know at all, and 20 thought-provoking and confusing films. There are only a few that can be barely understood, and the others have been watched many times but could not reach a spiritual resonance with the director.
But this time, the short film set, but I understand it.
All the films are bright in the soul. Eighteen stories, like melted fruit candy, flowing with honey juice, not very bright but very rich colors. They are all condensed minds and thoughts, just six minutes.
Don't want to tell every story, because they are not just one story, and they don't tell the whole story. I just wanted to say that in one hundred and twenty minutes, I wrote Paris, the city of love, and stayed in Paris at the level of love and life. In the story, there are conflicts, cultural differences, misunderstandings, sighs, family affection ••••••limited neighborhoods, infinite stories, and lingering love. To say that Paris is a city of love is too one-sided. I think this is a city of sensibility. People live a sensual life, and it seems that the love here is so strong and special, as if God has favored this city.
The directors of this short film are many civilians, and they are said to be well-known directors who do not take a high profile. However, due to my superficiality, I still don't know much. It's eighteen styles of films, and the difference is not from time to time in the technique, the plot, but the overall design and feel. They have a lot of similarities, long shots, constantly changing scenes, fast flashes, large psychological monologues and stillness, but their differences are slowly infiltrated in these similarities, even if similar shots, the culture of different directors Background and ideas are desperately presented in front of people, telling people that he is different.
I remember when I was watching "Ten Minutes", the only thing I could understand the most was Chen Kaige. This time, I held the same mentality, thinking that Chinese movies should be easy to understand, but Du Kefeng is a foreigner after all, even in The Chinese have been in the mix for a long time. Even if I made a short film about Chinese people, I still made a completely foreign film in the Chinese territory. Too visual movie, a bit abrupt, and a bit of Wong Kar-wai's feeling. This is the only thing I didn't understand in the eighteen films, especially I don't understand why the soundtrack is Faye Wong's "Sky".
There are more and more Chinese elements in the world, and many very Chinese things have been discovered inadvertently. A plaque with the word "Dragon" written on it, a Chinese girl, a Chinese restaurant, and some Chinese things I don't remember.
My favorites are Alfonso Courant's "Marceau Park" and Tom Tykaway's "Saint Denis". It's an unexpected result that I like, sensual and innocent actors, plot and dialogue about family love, fairy tale scenes, very Parisian.
There are infinite words, infinite thoughts about this city. More than a dozen districts reflect not life, but living conditions.
