The 2nd screening day of the 18th Faroe Island Film Festival brings you "The Tenant", and here's a sneak peek of the silent killers on the front lines!

Fruit trees:

The element of expressionism is the biggest plus point. The Hitchcock style can already be seen taking shape, but it has not yet reached maturity.

The wind is coming:

What a good pop movie! Hitchcock's bomb theory is the most "mistake" in his films: the bomb under the table does not explode for a long time, no matter what the person on the table says, it will be attracted; except for love, in front of love, the bomb Bombs are weak. Especially with the ecstasy bgm, the bomb is just a squib. Sure enough, it should be a silent film.

Morning:

I love this ambiguous fear, thanks in large part to Efonovello's terrified neurasthenic temperament, which makes the film strike a delicate balance between paranoia and security, and the final outcome is Is it convincing? Daisy is snuggled in the tenant's arms, smiling hesitantly, the picture fades out, but the disturbing psychology seems to be back at the beginning, Joan Tripp's performance is good, the love part is done very clearly, the best It's the kind of blonde angst in the back section, and she's clearly serving as a marker for Hitchcock. And this tenant also seems to be a projection of Hitchcock, who knows the heroine very well, is obsessed with her beauty, and observes her carefully.

Midnight no one:

In fact, it is a movie built by emotions. It firmly grasps the emotion of "doubt" and fully runs through the beginning and end. The sexually suggestive symbol of handcuffs makes the detective and the suspect become two sides of the same body. The contest of male charm is hidden in the murder scene. In addition, the "choose one" that women will face has always terrified the audience, and a road to the marriage hall or the pool of blood has already emerged in their minds.

Beiyang Xiangnuan:

It depicts a tenant who looks like a murderer very forcefully. Although the reversal is expected, the terrifying group trial is sobering. The floor perspective and footprints are really amazing, and the rainy night and dense fog make the house an isolated island of focus. The composition and editing are always sharp, only softened at the end, and the ambiguity and affection transcend and heal life and death.

FranzCamus:

Ivor Novello gave me an immediate visual sense of British Rudolph Valentino, one of Xifa's favorite early silent films.

Jeremy Sun:

Hitchcock's style was formed very early, and the three elements of love, suspense and comedy are never out of date.

I know a little about her:

Obviously, the newly added soundtrack of later generations has successfully turned this suspenseful blockbuster in the fog theater into a Qiongyao-style love triangle cult fantasy and bizarre blockbuster. Although it is only an hour and a half, it is still drowsy, and only one part is exciting and exciting. Yes, the puzzle-solving process is lengthy and bloody, and even the romantic romance is unbearable. The conversion of tones represents different moods and atmospheres, making it more certain that this is a cinema that belongs to cinema.

Cangshan ancient well empty to the moon:

Hitchcock's style was established, such as expressionist style shadows, blondes, incompetent cops, wronged protagonists. Using the camera to mislead the audience is a good shot, but this form of silent film still has certain restrictions on this film. Character dialogue scenes can only look at the expressions of the characters, and the rhythm is not too tight.

#FIFF18# The 2nd day issue score will be released later, please wait and see.

    Reminds me of the composition I wrote in high school, a policeman nervously regarded a person who went home for funeral as a criminal. Hitchcock is very talented and humorous. Very entertaining. four star

    It is said that it was Lao Xi's debut work, and he had his own style at that time. Clearly influenced by expressionism, photography is ghostly. The male lead is morbidly beautiful!
