If you listen to the film maker's hints in the title and literature, and enter the theater with the mentality of watching a poetic romantic film, you will probably be greeted by this movie that is not handsome, strange, neurotic, and seems to be short-circuited. , confused. But what's really fascinating is that it's not so normal and simple, but its eccentricity, but it can be so close and gentle that it makes people feel shocked.
Director Miranda Jolie, who is also a performance artist and short story writer, put her own installation art at the beginning of this directorial debut: static photos and fantasy situations, and such an interesting idea, It seems to have a wonderful theme for this film.
We were staring at a photo, it was an unfamiliar time and space with an unfamiliar back. At this moment, a voice sounded from the back, which seemed to come from the picture. It might be a meaningless whisper of a lover, it might be Passionate cries may be gentle conversations. ．．Suddenly, you find that the otherwise meaningless image comes to life. It's purely imaginary, a little weird and a little silly, but like magic, it makes the flat and rigid fragments of life soft and elastic.
The film is actually a life magic show written and directed by Miranda Jolie. She confidently and casually uses seemingly real situations and unadorned images, deftly captures the subtle connections between the many characters in the story, and adds boldly and humorously to those seemingly inconspicuous trivial details of life. vinegar. Maybe it's a long, neurotic dialogue, or an inexplicable fantasy, or even an extremely nonsensical character reaction. Suddenly, the strangely flashing brilliance suddenly burst out from the tasteless and bland plot.
I love how the director Miranda Jolie brings a little bit of short-circuit nuance to each relationship. I prefer her rich use of "fantasy and hallucination" in the film. It is not only her own artistic creation, but in this work, we can also be pleasantly surprised to find that punctuation marks can form pictures and worlds, and a few minutes The journey can replace the love of a lifetime, the bird in the original photo sings more clearly than the bird on the branch, and the sound of metal tapping can wake up the rising sun. ．．A girl who pretends to be mature is preparing her dowry and fantasizing about her own kitchen; a beautiful and ignorant girl, looking forward to the taste of the forbidden fruit and testing the limits of friendship; an art director with an indifferent appearance, who cares about the stolen mug and is bored. Burning with treacherous desires. ．．Everyone seems to be forced to wear an ordinary, rigid outer shell, and the soft, changeable, and distorted innermost hidden inside is eager to sneak out and find another soul that can be electrocuted with it. And it seems that only through that weird inner eye can we see a world that has hallucinations and meaning.
This film is a multi-line development and full of collaged sketches, which reminds people of another film "Shock Effect" this year. However, "Shock Effect", which seems to focus on "realistic presentation", gave me a false sense of over-laying and exhaustion of mechanisms. Instead, "Meet You by Chance", which is full of short-circuit madness and neurotic situations, made me even more In the heartfelt "sense of reality". It is actually closer to the "Morning in Venice" by the master Ioseriani. It allows us to see this light gray real world clearly, but it does not pessimistically keep us locked in it, but uses a light, clever and humorous approach. Show us the way out for the sneaky probing breath.
