A grotesque reception with just one glass of wine

A slightly grotesque but suspicious film, the director succeeded in attracting me to the plot, I was guessing what would happen in the next second throughout the whole scene, the characters in the film were selfish and loving. The lines are revealed step by step, and the unique black and white images make it easier for the senses to devote themselves to the plot rather than others. Human nature has its own characteristics. The beginning and the end are nonsensical, but they are revealed throughout the play. The director's intention It should also arouse the suspicion of the audience.

Perhaps it reflects the status quo of British society from a certain angle, but black and white projected the illusion of time and space into the era of black and white films of the last century, creating a sense of time and space confusion, called Party, but it turned out to be a conflict between everyone. The final outcome seems to be a dead end, but homosexuality, political parties, university professors disregarding ethics, extramarital affairs, murder, in vitro fertilization, doubts about medicine, and modern life with vacancies in the spiritual level are intertwined, and a short film uses black humor to show The evil of British society and even the entire modern capitalist society, as well as the confusion of the middle bourgeoisie.

    Fortunately, it was collected in time, but compared to Polanski's "Killing", it is a bit boring. This kind of old-fashioned middle-class extramarital affairs is tired of watching, but in the end, I still really want to see the mysterious Marian deity.

    EU Film Festival@百美汇 is another super-exciting small-format film. It seems better to change the Chinese name to a small party. Almost the first ten minutes of the show, most of the characters’ weaknesses and relationships are explained to the background. The dialogue is cynical and humorous. Funny. It seems that everyone’s life is very bright. In the end, no one is really happy. They are full of mockery, and the rhythm is tight and tension, but there is always a special swaying tone.

The Party quotes

  • Martha: I guess we're going to be a collective. Just when I got used to the idea of us being a couple.

    Jinny: Martha! We're going to be a *family*.

  • April: Babies, excuse me Jinny, Martha, babies get born every day in extremely large numbers to the point of endangering the planet and all our futures. It's not every day, however, that one of us becomes a minister. In your entirely rotten and useless opposition party.
