The camera sense of this Swedish film is actually not special or original, but it is very relevant to its content and form.
Basically, there are not a few moving shots, and the push-pull-pan can't be found in this movie, so I'm in a trance watching the drama. The photographer's composition feels very strong, and many times it is not only the drama but also the beauty of painting and photography.
No montage, one scene, one scene, no close-ups of characters. The living characters are just pawns in the scene, just as the living people are the grains of sand in the world. Nobody is special.
Speaking of which, this film should be very bland, even a bit depressing literary film. However, the director still has a good sense of humour, plain is bland, but not depressing, and it looks very comfortable.
Maybe one or two bright spots are always needed in the whole flowing rhythm, and this one below is the bright spot.
The girl dreamed that she was married to her beloved rock singer. In the dream, they were sitting on the train for their honeymoon trip. This train was too comfortable. The only clue to the suite carriage was the scenery outside the window that kept sliding to the rear. Singer groomsman sitting by the window and playing electric guitar.
The train leaned against a crowded station. The crowd knocked on the window as soon as the train stopped. The groom opened the window. People congratulated him and called out the bride. The two waved their hands to everyone in the cheers of the crowd. Sing a song to show your thanks.
As soon as the camera is turned, the newcomer is seen from the perspective of everyone. In fact, they were in front of the window of their apartment, which was parked on a station full of people. The whistle sounded, the apartment began to move forward in imitation of the train, and the crowd cheered and played music, causing the other neighbors in the apartment who didn't know what to do to look at the window inexplicably.
When I woke up from the dream, the girl was alone in the middle of the bar, drinking a cocktail. The bartender greeted everyone for the last drink tonight, and the crowd flocked to the bar. There was also a drinker beside him muttering about his dreams.
