It took several days to read it. It’s a feature film, but it’s actually a bit like a documentary, even more realistic than a documentary, basically restoring the rhythm of real life.
After watching "The Whale Circus" and "The Horse of Turin", I am basically familiar with Bella's narrative technique and expression style. The black and white, super-long shots, and slow narrative realism originate from the deliberate expression of restoring life to life.
The characters in the movie basically give people a similar look and feel: ugly, corrupt, dirty, boring, hopeless and even hopeless, and often repressed to the point of nausea? This "Satan's Tango" is even more so!
There have been frequent incidents recently, and many people's soul background has been exposed one after another, and they gradually feel hopeless about the ugliness of human beings... Maybe the fundamental meaning of life is only reproduction and evolution. How many souls can purify and ascend? less and less optimistic.
I don't necessarily like Bella very much, but the feeling after watching the film is so strong, profound and haunting, which shows how profound the director's artistic expression of the depth of perception and cognition of life, especially the time and space where the director is located.
It is true that it is basically difficult to swallow such works without sufficient age and experience and familiarity with the system.
I cut a star because I didn't feel very comfortable after watching it. Why not have a half-star design?
