The pace of the film is slow and a bit dull. Many people can't stand it. Compared with "The Taste of Cherry" directed by Iran, I think this film is not boring anymore. "The Taste of Cherry" is also a story of a man driving a car on the road, but this man wants to die and bury himself under a cherry tree. Different people I meet along the way, talk to them, and then drive on the road again until I meet the next person, repeating this cycle N times, the rhythm is so slow that I can't stand it, and then fast-forward to the end and stop watching.

I don't understand why this movie got bad reviews, I don't think it's so bad, and it's a treat. First of all, because of this boring man, the whole film is to watch a handsome, melancholy, sexy but cowardly man - Vincent Gallo's performance. In addition, the soundtrack of the movie is great, and the pictures flowing against the music (such as the picture of the blue and pure white saline-alkali land) allow me to feel his inner world. In addition to the song "milk and honey" that most people agree with, I also like the song "forever away", it should be the ballad of death, it is very soulful in my opinion.

Finally, I have to say that this is the last sex scene of the film. Seeing this, everything has been revealed, no one is boring anymore, huh, huh.

However, what is surprising is that it is indeed rare for a motorcycle racer to have such a repressed and cowardly character. The realism of independent films is evident, ha ha.

    The mood of drifting away is simple and trivial, and the end of the film is the "bright spot", but a little restraint may be more flavorful. In the evening with moderate rain and mist, driving on the highway, the car playing light and lazy music, the perfect personal image of the artistic conception, the unforgettable loneliness...

    6/10. A work that is only appreciated by a few people in the circle, Gallo narrates the process in prose poetry style and without conflict, beyond the framework of ordinary film structure and organization. Similar to Godard, the excessive attention to detail is not only to satisfy narcissism and the ending blowjob scene. lust is as simple as that. The film is full of continuous roads in front of the windshield. The dimly lit lights, the rainy evening, and the incomplete face of the protagonist at the edge of the composition show a sense of life pain and powerlessness to stay in the past. The camera casually wanders through fast food restaurants, toilets, hotels, gas stations and showers, leaving each encounter with a calm and charming texture. The climax scene at the end is the only scene where artificial light is used. Daisy, who met her, vomited to death after being raped and pregnant at the party. Only the protagonist was left alone on the bed, and the audience was a little confused about the previous inexplicable progress. It was noticed that Daisy's parents had no idea about the protagonist's visit. He was the only one who talked to himself throughout the whole process. The questions about the pet brown rabbit and the child, and the strange middle-aged woman who comforted and meditated on the way were all because the sensitive protagonist who lost her lover needed a short period of time. Take comfort.
