The 5th screening day of the main competition unit of the 16th #Faro IslandFilm Festival# will bring you "Youth and Vigorous". Let's see the evaluation of the old people who are on vacation on the front line calmly analyzing their life!

Mozart Lumso:

beautiful.

Poem to Edlin:

Better than "The Beautiful City".

RyanRyqn:

The composition and some shots are good, but the story is too bad.

Queen of the Faroe Islands:

The middle class is the class that is least worthy of being talked about but most often talked about.

Polaris.J:

The video and the lines are fantastic! I didn't expect it to look so good... It's much more comfortable than in "City of Absolute Beauty". I really liked the scene of commanding nature.

The heart is a lonely hunter:

There is no emotional resonance, but I have eaten the style, and I like it very much. The theme is old and young, life and death, but the presented picture contains more content, excellent work.

Cornices:

The song is really nice, and the film is exquisite. What are you and your friends thinking about? "You always say that feelings are magnified, but I think feelings are everything." "You know, I still want to make a movie" "Is my body still young? Still very young".

Fruit trees:

The petty bourgeoisie is full of flavor, and Sorrentino's taste in mirror movement and music is superb. The first half was very emotional, but unfortunately after a long time, it was dragged a little tired by the repeated use of techniques such as "music + empty mirror = cutscenes". The connotation that the movie wants to express is in place, and there are still many small topics in it. It is rare that they can still reach a unity with the title of Youth.

Pours full of Zhao +:

Young people's reverie about the last moment of living in this world is romantic and beautiful. When they are old, their reverie about living in the last moment is calm and cruel. The future of young people is very near, and the past of old people is very far away. I can't grasp the beauty of the past, but I can only copy it in my head. When the beauty of Mick's creation appeared in front of his eyes, his tear ducts couldn't hold back. Who would have thought that the beauty of the past would become the last straw that crushed him at this moment. The world-renowned also yearns for the moment of being discovered as a child that is special. Compared with the thousands of years of experience, the moment when you hold your lover's hand will be forever remembered. The moment you learn to bike is youth. Young people really don't know they're in love.

Cangshan ancient well empty to the moon:

The first 30-40 minutes is not bad. First, I use montage to build a picture of a decadent, old-fashioned, and cold resort hotel for the audience, and then gradually outline the hidden enthusiasm and vitality of the characters. Self-indulgence, a narcissism that deliberately shows lightness and sees through life. Fortunately, the beautiful scenery and some extraordinary handling techniques of the director kept my attention. The body in the swimming pool that was refracted and "magnified" underwater and the head of normal size above the water impressed me the most, echoing the hidden Enthusiasm and energy. What makes an old man glow in the Nth spring is inseparable from sex and beautiful women.

Midnight no one:

How to frankly show the high profile of elite intellectuals in a movie without being disgusting or annoying is actually quite difficult. Sorrentino just happened to be wrong in "Vengeance for the Father" because he tried to covertly blend into the echelon of universalism and empathy; the great Woody Allen did it himself On the contrary, the fans who are popular for him will always be the objects of satire in his films; more art-movie folks only know how to endlessly complain about themselves and self-pity, and can be directly pressed to the ground by this film to learn to be a human being. The first half is a playful idle pen, the romance of men and women prevails, the second half is the big curtain of the industry prospects, the embers of career cool down with the last dusk of life, and everything conveyed by using characters as tools can be contrived, But the director's actions must not be contrived, because in the end, all you need them to dissect is the enthusiasm of Jin Cancan, which is a very rare movie wisdom.

Hethang:

Looking at it as a whole, you can catch a glimpse of the director-level moments of Paul Sorrentino, but it still feels a little boring and unappetizing, which is reflected in the following points: First, although the film combines the experiences and psychological states of many characters It is more clearly presented, but there is still a sense of confusion when crowded together; second, the overall atmosphere of the film is a bit too cold and restrained, which is somewhat inconsistent with the positive feeling the film tries to convey; third, The treatment of the text in the film is of course highly philosophical and literary, but is the overly esoteric and advanced rational content still a bit unfriendly to the audience? It is naturally very good for the director to look back at his past and present world from the perspective of the elderly, but the details are still a little too high-level, and it cannot achieve an organic circulation with the audience. More It's just a "visible, intangible" sense of emptiness, which can be understood, but can't be grasped.

#FIFF16# The 5th day of the main competition unit will be released later, please wait and see.

    Life is like this telescope. When you are young, you see things that are closer, and that is the future; when you are old, you look back and see things that are pushed far away, and that is the past. If "The Beautiful City" lets us know a city, then this film allows us to see our own life clearly.

    Two generations in a Swiss paradise to sort out their debts and emotional garbage ~ with a small amount of philosophical coriander ~ ok but not far from the alpine prison on the wall ~ an over-the-counter drug for hypersexuality and lack of thinking ~ the director seems to have become dependent ~*Well Miss Universe's boobs seem fake? (emotion is all we got, isn’t it~
