director Leos Carax (Leo Carax), known as the genius of the French film industry!
This year's Shanghai International Film Festival, he also brought the film, and it is said that the sixth generation of China is more or less influenced by it, I will take "Pola X" and "Sacred Car Dealer" to learn about it!
The movie "Pola X"
is based on the work of American writer Herman Melville (author of the novel "Moby Dick"), Pierre, ou les Ambiguites. Pola is the abbreviation of the French name Pierre, ou les Ambiguities. It is the tenth version of the script.
It describes the son of a famous former French diplomat who writes novels for his business, and naturally becomes "literary"! When dealing with chaotic human emotions and sundries, it is often full of passion, indignation or impulsiveness!
Finally, impulse is the devil! Not only can it bring the scars of the locomotive falling to the ground, but it can also bring the pain of relatives, falling into a whirlpool that looks like a left-wing force, and finally the trigger is pulled, ending other people's lives, and destroying their own youth!
As for the "noble spiritual experience", "subconsciousness" and "edge sense" that some audiences experience from the film...
Because I haven't seen the original text, it's actually not very easy to understand! What I personally understand from more than 2 hours of video is: moaning!
The Chinese elements in the film appear in the restaurant, and there are also two Chinese songs attached! Apart from Godard, few filmmakers in
Holly Motors seem to have the courage to question their audience.
"Sacred Car Dealers" expresses the deep anxiety of filmmakers, who wonder if audiences will ever come to appreciate the beauty in their world.
The protagonist in the film entrusts director Karax's understanding and metaphor of the world. The starring Dani Lewan is constantly wearing makeup and entering other roles in the film. 9 dates, 9 lives and roles. "Sacred Car Dealer" completely transcends academic or conventional narrative logic and clues, and once again reveals Karax's directing genius. The performance of the whole film is unique and unrestrained, every minute gives people expectations, and every minute may be a surprise. However, such experimental works must be difficult to escape the polarized judgment, and this film is no exception.
I think this film is much better than "Pola X", and it is more realistic! Life is like a play, and play is not life! There is no obvious camera, but every viewer is a camera! The opening shot was given to a group of spectators in front of the movie screen, that's what it means!
The acting of Denis Lavant, starring Denis Lavant, is beyond reproach! The subtleties are outstanding. He shows the pretentious social role played by a single person in different time periods and in different external environments!
Isn't there such a thing around us, a composite figure of father, boss, subordinate, killer, lunatic, lover, and confessor? It is difficult for each specific audience to only play a simple role in their whole life, or even in one day!
This is society, this is human society, this is the human society abstracted by the director!
Seems crazy, but it's true! Like, the last scene of the movie!
The Chinese elements in the film appeared in the warehouse murder!
Ghost director, really talented! The double film, the latter one, is worth watching!
