"Five to Seven O'clock"
Of the film genres I know so far, the New Wave is my favorite. It doesn't have the strong formality of avant-garde, nor the heaviness of Italian neorealism. No matter the shooting technique, expression technique or narration technique, they do not play cards according to the routine. This kind of film that does not stick to the form is less the same as the standardized industrial assembly line, and it also reflects the essence that art comes from life and is higher than life.
For example, when we watched Godard 's "Exhausted" , the heroine and gangster Michelle were walking on the street, chatting while walking, very idle, but full of interest in life, as if we were passing by them. Strong sense of substitution. But from the point of view of the movie, the content of their chat has nothing to do with the plot. But this kind of life-like clip is often the most easily remembered by people, which is why the three fans in "Dream of Paris" will follow suit. It also makes the scene of Qian Zhenbao and Michelle chatting with a newspaper selling Classic reasons (of course, in addition to this, Xi Zhenbao's clothing and styling were also trend-setting at the time).
Let's take a look at Truffaut's "Four Hundred Blows". When showing the little boy's childhood life, he wandered around and wandered around with his friends. This is a serious "anti-script" shooting method, but it is This kind of fragmented accumulation can mobilize the audience's subjective consciousness to the greatest extent, and then empathize with the fate of the male protagonist's childhood. Instead of following the normal narrative method, it has the effect of " distracting and gathering ". This is why the new wave is in the film. The reasons for standing out in the history of the movement.
Movies, after all, have a set of grammar. This does not mean that the new wave can be used arbitrarily. When two people chat, there will definitely be truth and golden sentences, but many contents are not dry goods after all. In the movie, how to avoid the lengthy and meaningless dialogue but still highlight the theme, portray the characters, and grab the audience's attention is really not an easy task, but some people can do it. Today we Instead of Godard and Truffaut, let's talk about Agnès Varda, the grandmother of the New Wave .
Agnès Varda was born in Brussels, Belgium, and came to France to escape the war. He started as a photographer. Varda didn't know much about the film itself, but it was this "half knowledge" and her passion for filmmaking that established her status in the world of film. Her debut, "Short Corner Affair," was completed with the help of Alain Resnais , and its unique narrative structure and low-budget production are seen as the forerunners of a new wave. As a "left bank" female director, her film style is delicate, sensitive, and close to life. Her most widely praised work, "The Wonders of Five to Seven", describes the In the two hours before a young girl waiting for her cancer diagnosis notice, she went from nervousness to despair to regaining her confidence. The screen time of the film is 95 minutes, and the story takes place within two hours. The consistency of drama time and camera time reflects the interests of the Left Bank.
"Chio from 5 to 7" is like a small "road movie". During this time, the girl Chio roamed Paris constantly, and the scenery of cafes, churches, parks and Paris was unobstructed. Wandering is also a common expression technique used in many New Wave works. Like other feminist directors, Varda values the process of women's self-reliance, and while Chio is heartbroken by the young composer's "Without You" (Sans toi), in illusory glory, no one really cares about her, but The final theme remains the sublimation of rediscovering the world of self-discovery.
It is worth mentioning that Varda is also the wife of Jacques Demy , the director of "The Autumn Woman". The representative work "The Umbrella of Cherbourg" won the highest honor in Cannes in 1964, starring the queen's heroine Catherine Deneuve .
