I finally watched the film "La vie d'Adèle" (La vie d'Adèle) directed by Cosy Xu at the Cannes Film Festival this year, which was directed by Cossie at the Art Theater. It can only be witnessed on the big screen with my own eyes. Only then can he bow down to the high standards of this Palme d’Or work. "Adele's Life" belongs to the kind of film that is so beautiful that it is so beautiful that it makes viewers feel incoherent. In the words of my own short review before, it means that the process of watching the film is like a review. Full score composition, every minute shot is permeated with incomparable exquisiteness and full affection. Before this film, I always thought that in the new film I had watched this year, in the film depicting and showing the life of an ordinary person, director Shuichi Okita, "Yokodo Senosuke" starring Kora Kengo and Yoshitaka Yuriko would be the best in my mind, and as soon as "Adele's Life" appeared, I realized that I had previously envisioned the capital of the entire annual movie list. To make way for it. (Of course, we are also looking forward soon to come "Zuixiang ballad", "American Hustle," "big dreamer," "August: Osage County," "she" and Oscar athletes are)
a long time not as a movie I've written a long review, but I don't know how to make beautiful boasts. Taking advantage of the remaining heat after watching the movie, I will first say a straightforward slang for the film.
First of all, I try to describe the scale of "Adele's Life" as vividly and accurately as possible. It has been in American theaters until now, and I have never felt that large-scale or heavy-tasting will bring any noticeable topicality. Just take the "Don Juan" and Rodriguez's "Don Juan" more than two months ago. Take "Machete Killing" as an example. For a while, Xiao Jiao confessed to the "European and American blockbusters" in front of the computer screen, and then rolled the sheets with Scarlett Johansson "controllably". Isn't it big enough? Watching "Machete Killing" again, it all kills people's intestines and rips them on the helicopter propeller. Isn't it tasteful enough? But in fact, it only ends there. Those similar large-scale and heavy-tasting effects are more often a blogger's eyeball effect, which provokes a wicked smirk on the faces of various "conspiracy" audiences. Then let me sigh with emotion, this film is very emotional/this style is very Cult/this director is very good at tossing, the whole thing is ended with the popcorn and the unfinished coke, but then Yes, because you clearly know those sections are just for fun, and other directors didn’t take it seriously, so naturally you wouldn’t believe them.
The so-called large scale is actually true in "The Life of Adele"-I even think it is unnecessary to describe it as large. The performances of the two heroines have been completely released, and there is no scale at all. Several lesbian sex scenes (to be precise, two of them), the violent situation may be the first time since I was born that I felt like sitting in a theater with black lights and illegal gatherings to watch pornography.
I first saw the film’s scale in the ML scene between Adele and her first love boyfriend shortly after the opening. There is nothing surprising about this segment. It is very standard, straightforward, a pair of ignorant adolescent boys and girls. Intertwined round and round, you can use any scenes of sex between men and women in film and television works to supplement your brain during the whole process; if you have watched the passionate SM scenes of Mr. Yi and Wang Jiazhi in "Lust Caution", Maybe you still feel disdainful of the performance of this film. And the moment when Adele’s boyfriend Thomas’ huge male root flashed in the camera halfway through the ML, it was probably the first place in the film that caught people off guard. At that time, only two images were reflected in my mind. One is "a certain frame" in "Fight Club", and the other is "Liberated Jiang Ge" which made an emergency stoppage joke in China.
The first lesbian sex scene between Adele and the blue-haired girl Emma was ushered in after the film lasted about an hour. Let me restore the reaction of the audience around me in the theater at the time-the originally empty and quiet screening hall amplifies the sounds of various activities, and before the beginning of the scene, some whispers from the audience in the back can be heard, as well as me. Not far away, a little black guy was chewing popcorn while shaking his feet, and when the two heroines began to turn the clouds and rain on the screen, the audience was like the stagnant scene of time and space in "Cashback" Generally speaking, the crow bird did not dare to breathe silently. The aunt in the first row who was sleeping under her coat and almost buried her head in her seat woke up like a lightning strike. She sat up straight and said, "Dying sick. "Sit up in shock" is just right.
I haven't watched the watch before and after that whole lesbian drama. It may be about 8 minutes or even shorter, but the whole process feels like an infinite length. There is a ridiculous joke called "My pants are all taken off and you show this to me?" I am afraid that I will rephrase this film as "Hey, how can you show me this while wearing my pants..." The afterthought of the movie is extremely complicated-the first ten seconds can undoubtedly greatly satisfy the audience's curiosity, there is no flirting foreplay, no undressing, no undressing, pulling, pulling, refusing and welcoming, no sudden extra piece After the tulle and montage flashed by, I saw two half-naked people cuddling until dawn. They were all real and real, and feasted on Freya Saidu and Adele Axalhobulos. In addition to a good figure, you can also have a full life experience. After observing up close and unreservedly, you can increase your knowledge. "Oh, it turns out that lesbians are like this." The pictures of using both mouth and hands and piston movement lasted for a minute, two minutes, and until a few minutes later, when there was still an intensifying momentum, the initial prying pleasure and the pleasure of physiological instinct no longer existed, as the two in front of them The white flesh was violently up and down and the loud sound of the sound around the ears panting. I only felt a blank in my mind, and then burned hot from the cheeks to the ears. While feeling uncomfortable on pins and needles, I was reluctant to move my eyes away wishing to have a The playback button starts again from the beginning.
The great thing about "Adele's Life" is that it shows the scene of same-sex sex in such an explicit way, and does not make the audience feel nasty, indecent, ashamed, and ugly. On the contrary, it is so beautiful that it is suffocating and strong. The erotic desire seems to overflow the screen, so sexy is so pure. It is also in these passages that the empathy of the film is brought to its extreme. No matter whether your gender is male or female, you will agree that the moment is beautiful and good, and you will try it slowly. To understand, what kind of love Adele and Emma are, so that they need each other so fiercely, to achieve such a state of blending "from soul to body". I remember that Tony Leung said after filming a few sex scenes in "Lust and Caution" that he was in a state of mental breakdown in order to fully enter the role of Mr. Yi. Looking back at the performance of the two heroines in this film, it was natural enough to make people feel like they were already. Not entering the role, but far above the role, all the emotional expressions are unbelievably real, even if it is a real pair of real female lovers, it may not be able to achieve such an effect.
In addition to the jaw-dropping lesbian scenes, the most impressive thing about "Adele's Life" is the seamless connection between the performance of the heroine Adele Xalehobulos and the language of the film lens. . In this film, Cauchy Xu is very fond of using close-up shots to express characters. From life trivialities to emotional states, the choices in every detail are also included in the lens, so the daily life is almost three hours. Here, the audience followed the heroine Adele through the camera, experiencing eating meat sauce noodles, eating meat sauce noodles, eating meat sauce noodles, sleeping with mouth open, sleeping with mouth open, sleeping with mouth open, smoking, smoking, smoking... In the moments of his life, I felt a lot of emotion that I didn’t shoot "Trumen's World". Dare to use and make good use of a lot of close-ups. In addition to showing the director’s extraordinary confidence, there is also a feeling for the lead actor Adai. Your absolute trust. What surprised Adele was not only the flawless skin that was soft and breakable no matter how close the lens was drawn, but also the acting skills that surpassed the performance itself. Adele, born in 1993, has an astonishing performance hidden in the face of a doll that has not faded away. The joy, anger, sorrow, joy, cloudy, sunny, round the four seasons, it is difficult to imagine what Adele played or not. It’s coming out; I’ve watched the movie for so long, so I’ve never watched a crying scene like Adele’s crying to the point of enthusiasm and letting the crystal clear nose indulge. Flowing, Xiao sips and then cries in a crying performance.
On the whole, "The Life of Adele" is not a tight-paced work. For most of the time, it is even more lazy and casual, with many fragmentary narratives and shots, but it does not make people feel wasteful. The film has a direct power to hit people's hearts. It connects these seemingly sloppy fragments, and then takes the audience into Adele's world calmly. Whether it is a dream or reality, I have loved laughing, crying, heartbreaking. After passing, and then looking at Adele's back in a blue dress, walking forward with a little confusion and a little relief, perhaps the best ending.
