Photography is an ambiguous art

That year, the Palme d'Or was nominated for Best Picture and was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, but was defeated by the hit historical film "The Man of the Four Seasons". A very unreal and bizarre story. The protagonist of the film is a well-known photographer in London, whose day job is to deal with fashion models, dress them up and shoot them. In the studio, everyone loses their labels, and the models themselves become fashion puppets, photographers' dolls, scrambling to occupy a corner of the print media, lost in the "illusion" created by the curtain and flash. This dominant-dominated relationship is evident on the posters - the photographer and the model move in a sort of traditional position in sex, and the camera and film are the bargaining chips the photographer has. The photographer enjoys the thrill of absolute authority in the studio, but the real world outside the studio presents him with a conundrum: uncontrollability. For the blurred murder incident in the park, the photographer had to continuously enlarge, enlarge, and enlarge the original negative through technical means, and searched for clues to communicate the facts from the blurred pixels. The mid-1960s was still an era when the media could be trusted. . But what happened in reality was vague and unpredictable, ambiguous and unanswerable, the original body and woman disappeared the next day, and the young photographer suddenly became a helpless and passive party. The thematic elements of the film fit the non-mainstream life of Western society in the 1960s and 1970s: restless rock, exaggerated fashion, and passive life. Jazz musician Herbie Hancock, Tomorrow Band, and Yardbirds Band were all popular musicians at the time. The soundtracks produced for the film are very atmospheric and psychedelic and have won awards internationally.
